Gurkan Erdogdu closed OWB-481.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

OWB provides default initializtion process using listener approach. Other container can implement its own solutions.

> Currently WebBeansConfigurationListener implements ServletContextListener and uses the contextInitialized method to initialize OWB for the web app.  Given an application containing a ServletContextListener that is a web bean, this requires that
> 1. the OWB  WebBeansConfigurationListener ServletContextListener get installed before the app's ServletContextListeners
> 2. the OWB WebBeansConfigurationListener have it's contextInitialized called before the servlet container instantiates the apps ServletContextListeners that are web beans.
> There's no way to guarantee this will happen in a compliant servlet container.  (Neither happens in the geronimo tomcat integration; we could force the first to happen, but not the second).
> It might be possible to do the initialization in a ServletContainerInitializer since I think these get called before any application classes start getting instantiated.
