I followed the instructions in the link mentioned by Pete. &quot;pete.muir(a)jboss.org&quot; wrote : http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.B1/reference/en/html/configuration.html#... I still am receiving the same error of No active session context. I basically modified the components.xml file and copy pasted <web:context-filter url-pattern="/media/*"/> in it. I also made some modifications to the tag. I do not see any errors during deployment. What else do I need to do in order to access Identity from my servlet?
