[Resteasy-users] RESTEasy - CDI Integration: ContextNotActiveException while using a @ConversationScoped bean within a resource class

[Robert R. <rob...@go...>]

Hi all,

i'm using RESTEasy inside JBoss AS6 Final. When trying to inject and use a @ConversationScoped bean inside my JAX-RS resource class the following exception is thrown:

2011-03-09 08:07:08,687 ERROR Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnhandledException: org.jboss.weld.context.ContextNotActiveException: WELD-001303 No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped
...
Caused by: org.jboss.weld.context.ContextNotActiveException: WELD-001303 No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped
      at org.jboss.weld.manager.BeanManagerImpl.getContext(BeanManagerImpl.java:643) [:6.0.0.Final]
      at org.jboss.weld.bean.proxy.ContextBeanInstance.getInstance(ContextBeanInstance.java:77) [:6.0.0.Final]
      at org.jboss.weld.bean.proxy.ProxyMethodHandler.invoke(ProxyMethodHandler.java:87) [:6.0.0.Final]

Is this a Bug or is the usage of ConversationScoped beans currently not supported? Is there a workaround to get an active transient ConversationContext inside my JAX-RS resource to prevent the exception? I'm not trying to establish a long running conversation using REST so a transient conversation would be sufficient. The @ConversationScoped is solely present/required because i'm reusing business logic that is also used via Web-UI.

Below is a small Testcase (derived from the resteasy-cdi-test module in the source distribution) demonstrating the scenario

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks, Robert
