I have jboss seam web service. I am mapping my service class in web.xml as follows pluginhandler service.PlugInHandler 1 pluginhandler /*

I read on some blog that if you are using a custom servlet in jboss seam , then you have to add filter org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamServletFilter to generate all the required contexts which i might need to talk to seam components Seam Servlet Filter org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamServletFilter

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>Seam Servlet Filter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping> 

I have a seam component Action which I am trying to instantiate in web method , but i keep getting null pointer exception on that (when i try to invoke its method) and the root cause is "No active event context". I have attached the stack of exception as follows Servlet.service() for servlet pluginhandler threw exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: No active event context at org.jboss.seam.core.Manager.instance(Manager.java:250) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.ContextualHttpServletRequest.run(ContextualHttpServletRequest.java:55) at org.jboss.seam.web.ContextFilter.doFilter(ContextFilter.java:37) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:179) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:262) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:446) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I do not have any idea what might be wrong. Is it some specific configuration that I am missing to use custom servlets? I would highly appreciate your help and time.

Thanks
