The situation we're aming for is that when people throw in web.xml:s
and web-fragment.xmls and @WebListener:s, the order (of course)
follows that of the Servlet specification but we have sneaked in the
WeldListener before that. Now how to guarantee portability, that this
has also been done when throwing the same application in another
appserver is another thing...
You can use a web-fragment.xml in your JAR with an
<ordering><before><others/></before></ordering>. It is a
weak guarantee,
but that's the only thing portable you can do without user
configuration. Your listeners will then be right after the listeners
from the main web.xml, the @WebListener from /WEB-INF/classes, and other
fragments ordered before others could compete with you.
For JBoss, probably a regular deployer would be something more robust.
