Programmatic Contextual Events - binded components are null

Question

Dear ADF/Webcenter gurus,
I am publishing and consuming a contextual event programatically in separate taskflows and managed beans.
The wiring of consumer and publisher is established runtime via WebCenter composer (my taskflows are published as jar, but I think this does not regard the problem below).
Problem is, in the consumer method of the bean, I cannot access any binded coponents.
I suppose this is because when the bean receives the contextual event it doesn't know in which binding context the page is.
For now, my solution is: create seperate bean for consuming the event, get the page bean by createValueExpression(#{beanName}); and call the desired beanName.method to go on.
It works, but I want to be able to consume the event and acces binded components in the same bean.
I have the same issue when programatically firing event (binded components == null).
Waiting your ideas, Todor

Thanks for the reply,
I am currently using the 2nd mechanism for accessing the bean which contains the bindings of the page components (e.g panelTabbed).
What I want is to do it in the same bean, without the need of resolving expressions (now I can resolve the expression ${beanName.panelTabbed}) - I think there should be a cleaner way.
There's got to be a way to consume the contextual event in the same binding context!
