Yes, if you are running handlers outside the servlet chain the servlet 
request context does not get setup.
Because you are actually after the ServletContextImpl (which allows you 
to get the session) you need to get a reference to this at deployment time.
How are you setting up your non-blocking handler? Via ServletExtension?
If so then the ServletContext is just passed into the extension, so you 
can just pass it directly to the handler (You will need to cast it to 
ServletContextImpl though in order to use it to get the session).

 Hi Stuart,
 I have a regular servlet (the sample... public class HelloWorldServlet
 extends HttpServlet) running inside the same web context (in the same
 war).  In the HelloWorldServlet I can access the session object.  I ran
 that first, but when I run the non-blocking servlet, my reqctx still
 returns null.
 I'm running Wildfly 8.0.0 final, in case that matters.
 So is everything hinging on:
 public class ServletInitialHandler implements HttpHandler,
 ServletDispatcher {
 ...
publicvoidhandleRequest(finalHttpServerExchangeexchange)throwsIOException,ServletException
 ...
 exchange.putAttachment(ServletRequestContext.ATTACHMENT_KEY,
 servletRequestContext);
 ...

     This will only be not null after the first servlet handler has run.
     If your handler is executing outside the scope of the servlet
     deployment then you need to store a reference to the ServletContext
     somewhere (worst case = stick it in a static somewhere).
