How to programmatically Identify the Phase from a managed bean

Question

How can we identify the Phase from a normal managed bean method ?
This managed bean method is a method activity in a task-flow. How can we identify the phase..?
If there is an event then, we can identify the phase using event.getPhaseId() but here there is no event. Can I get the phase programmatically ?
Thanks

Hi,
You won't need that with a PhaseListener. You could use something like the following:
public class CurrentPhaseListener implements PhaseListener
    private static ThreadLocal<PhaseId> currentPhaseId = new ThreadLocal<PhaseId>();
    public static PhaseId getCurrentPhaseId()
        return currentPhaseId.get();
    public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent ev)
        currentPhaseId.remove();
    public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent ev)
        currentPhaseId.set(ev.getPhaseId());
    public PhaseId getPhaseId()
        return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
