Nope. A PhaseListener is an object that exists outside of any particular request; the same instance is used for every request received by a webapp. A FacesContext instance is created for each request, and is discarded when the request ends. So there is no FacesContext when a PhaseListener is constructed; there *is* a FacesContext available when any of the standard callback methods on the PhaseListener is invoked. Regards, Simon
