Description

WebContextsService#initRequestContext can only be started if you supply a ServletRequestEvent.
This is not possible for threads which get started asynchronous, e.g. to handle a long running action.

In this case the following Exception gets thrown when accessing the RequestScope:

javax.enterprise.context.ContextNotActiveException: WebBeans context
with scope type annotation @RequestScoped does not exist within
current thread
at org.apache.webbeans.container.BeanManagerImpl.getContext(BeanManagerImpl.java:341)
