[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SOLDER-240) ServletContextAttributeProvider uses wrong servlet ctx. attribute name to lookup the bean manager

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Christian Kaltepoth commented on SOLDER-240: -------------------------------------------- I just had a deeper look at this issue. ServletContextAttributeProvider tries to lookup the BeanManager using the attribute name "javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager". The problem is that this attribute is not used by all CDI implementations. AFAIK this attribute name works for: * Weld 1.0.x * OpenWebBeans (see [OWB-360|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OWB-360]) Unfortunately Weld 1.1.x uses a different attribute name. This was already [discussed on the forums|http://seamframework.org/Community/GettingBeanManagerFromServletCo...]. Fortunately the attribute name will finally be specified in CDI 1.1 (see [CDI-73|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-73]). Another interesting issue: While working on this I found out that ServletContextAttributeProvider seems to don't work at all. The class uses a ThreadLocal that holds the ServletContext. But the ServletContext from the ThreadLocal is always null when the BeanManagerLocator tries to invoke this provider. I tested this with AS7 and Tomcat7. I've currently no idea what is going wrong here. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
