StartupServletContextListener

[Martin Marinschek <ma...@gmail.com>]

A discussion Matze and I had at the ApacheCon was with the Atanion people 
about the StartupServletContextListener. There was one Webcontainer who 
screwed up if you added the StartupServletContextListener to the TLD file 
directly - apparently, this issue has been resolved in the last version of 
this container (it was Weblogic, I think).

So we might finally be able to get rid of adding the Listener to the
web.xmlfile and might be able to add it to the TLD instead.

regards,

Martin

We should add a JIRA issue on this so that when its closed, it will be
part of the release notes.  Also, the release notes for this release
should come right out of JIRA.  Its simple to generate them this way.

But of course!  :-)

The Ant hacks (for Shale) that I'm using to conditionally add the
listener work ... but they have the disadvantage of making the source
code of the web.xml file not be valid XML, which NetBeans whines
about.

you are talking about your build scripts, isn't it ? :)

But, sure this "solution" will be fine to people, since they don't see
any differences between RI and MyFaces. That is a common point. I
often hear "MyFaces needs a ContextListener, but RI doesn't"

That will be really popular with people currently using the RI and
wanting to try out MyFaces, since that's the way the RI does it.
