Hmmm I tried @In as follows: @In(value="javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate", scope=ScopeType.EVENT) Use case was a Stateless Session Bean for logging on ( Hooking up Seam Auth stuff ) And injected value was null. But: FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); HttpServletRequest currentRequest = (HttpServletRequest) ctx.getExternalContext().getRequest(); userCerts3 = ( X509Certificate[] ) currentRequest.getAttribute( "javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate" ); Worked. I will recheck my notes. Thanks for the help. ( Still waiting for Lockheed to get the Dev support contract in place.)
