Convert tag and setWebContextBuilder

[Lance Java]

I'm starting to use the dwr convert JSP tag (not checked in yet) and I have some custom converters that rely on WebContextFactory.get() to access the session etc.
So, is it safe for the tag to call WebContextFactory.setWebContextBuilder() so that the converters can get access to the WebContext.
Is this dangerous since the thread is not a thread managed by the DWR servlet?
I realise that there will be no script session at this point, is there anything else I might break by doing this?

Cheers,
Lance.

I'm not sure that there is anything wrong with what you want to do, but it's not the solution that I envisaged.
My recommendation would be that you do this, and use the built in WebContextBuilder:

Container c = ServerContextFactory.get().getContainer();
WebContextBuilder wcb = c.getBean(WebContextBuilder.class);
wcb.set(null, null, servletConfig, servletContext, container);

Yep, that's my solution with a wcb.unset(); in a finally block.
Great
