Jozef,

Ok, great, I'll give this a go and report back.

So if jetty is handling @Resource (handling making the jndi entries
and injecting the fields/methods) for servlets/filters/listeners, what
will happen if someone declares this in eg a servlet:

public class  MyServlet extends HttpServlet
{

    @Producer @Resource (name="foo")
    @MyDb
    private DataSource db;
}

Will weld still inspect this class and find the producer and make it
available for injection in other code?
