AuthorizerActionLocal authLocal = (AuthorizerActionLocal)Seam.componentForName("packageCreationAction") .getInstance(AuthorizerActionImpl.class);

UserVO userVO = authLocal.login(userName);

I get an error saying:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No application context active at org.jboss.seam.Component.forName(Component.java:1603)

What is going wrong? Is it possible to call a seam component from inside a servlet filter as above? If not then is there any other way
