[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMFACES-67) Provide a ServletContainerInitializer that automatically registers the FacesServlet

Provide a ServletContainerInitializer that automatically registers the FacesServlet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFACES-67 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-67 Project: Seam Faces Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Configuration API Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Dan Allen Assignee: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0.0.Beta2 Since this module is strictly focused on JSF enhancements, we can be (almost) certain that JSF is being used. In an effort to minimize configuration, Seam Faces should automatically register the FacesServlet if it's not already configured by the application. Automatic registration is possible using a ServletContainerInitializer extension. Granted, most Java EE 6 application servers are now automatically configuring the FacesServlet under certain conditions. JBoss AS registers it for all applications by default. GlassFish registers it if the application has a WEB-INF/faces-config.xml. We can normalize this behavior by registering it if Seam Faces is present (so WEB-INF/faces-config.xml isn't even required). This feature will only activate in Servlet 3.0 environments.
