Instead of making the developer add the Weld Servle listener in their web.xml when using weld-servlet, might we consider registering it for them automatically but including it in a web.xml fragment or TLD that&#39;s bundled in weld-servlet.jar? The benefit of using the TLD is that it would work in pre-Servlet 3.0 environments.<div>

<div>    version=&quot;2.0&quot;&gt;</div><div>    &lt;description&gt;</div><div>       An empty tag library that registers a listener to bootstrap Weld in a Servlet container.</div><div>    &lt;/description&gt;</div><div>

    &lt;!--</div><div>       This ServletContextListener initializes the runtime environment of the CDI</div><div>       Reference Implementation (Weld) when a web application including it is</div><div>       initialized by the container.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Btw, we are already including other automatic configurations, such as a JSF phase listener and view handler (META-INF/faces-config.xml).</div><div><br></div><div>Worthy of a JIRA?</div><div><br></div><div>
