[webbeans-dev] Lifecycle for WebBeans SE Module

Hi, I've come across a bit of a problem with the PFD2 from the SE module perspective. There's no longer any suitable built-in event which can be used to kick off the SE application, due to there not being any lifecycle events which fire while the contexts are active. We used to use @Observes @Deployed Manager, and by doing so the observer method was executed inside a fully injected bean with all contexts available. In PFD2 we have the AfterDeploymentValidation event, but it gets fired 'before creating contexts and processing requests'. Then the next lifecycle event after that is BeforeShutdown. The simplest alternative I can think of is a custom event introduced for WebBeans SE specifically, thrown by the SE module itself, which isn't ideal because we lose that portability. Any thoughts or advice? Related question: How is application code written for CDI supposed to execute code on startup - does it have to register an Extension and execute without any contexts/injection? Cheers, Pete.
