@Inject ServletContext in @PushEndpoint Annotated class

[Miguel Cubells]

Hi all.

I have seen in some examples, like the Chat Application Showcase, or even in books ( like PrimeFaces Blueprints ), that it should be possible to inject the ServletContext, or the HttpServletRequest, in a PrimeFaces Java Class annotated with @PushEndpoint.

Just like this:

Code: Select all

@PushEndpoint("/{room}/{user}")
@Singleton
public class ChatResource {
   ...
   @Inject
   private ServletContext ctx;
  ...
}

and then use it in the @OnOpen or @OnClose methods.

Code: Select all

@OnClose
public void onClose(RemoteEndpoint r, EventBus eventBus) {
     ChatUsers users= (ChatUsers) ctx.getAttribute("chatUsers");
     ...

However, in the application I'm developing, the injection of the ServletContext is always NULL, and nothing can be retrieved.
The Java class is located in a WAR file ( so the ServletContext should be available ).

I am using WildFly 8.2.0.Final.
The problem happens with both PF 5.1 + Atmosphere 2.2.6 , or PF 5.2 + Atmosphere 2.3.0

Does anyone know how can the ServletContext be injected in a @PushEndpoint annotated class ??
At the end, what I want is to access a parameter in the Request that contains an Apache Shiro subject, injected by the Atmosphere ShiroInterceptor.

Thanks a lot in advance !!

Actually we found that there is a way to get the ServletContext without trying to inject it, by using

Code: Select all

ServletContext servletContext = ServletContextFactory.getDefault().getServletContext();

which is an Atmosphere utility method.

However, we just found that what we really need is to get access to the HttpServletRequest everytime the @PushEndpoint bean is instantiated.

We tried the solution adopted in the below StackOverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1818 ... coped-bean

because we are using JEE 6 , not JEE 7.

But no matter how do we try to get access to the HttpServletRequest, it is always NULL inside the @PushEndpoint class.

Is there a way to get access to the HttpServletRequest in the @PushEndpoint class ?
Furthermore, is there a way to access the AtmosphereResource or AtmosphereRequest directly ??
From the RemoteEndpoint parameter of the @OnOpen or @OnClose methods, there is no way to get access to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
