Martin Kouba commented on Bug WELD-1615

It seems we need GwtDevHostedModeContainer for older GWT versions, where Jetty 6 is bundled.

We have the following options:

  1. drop support for GWT 2.5 and older (note that Jetty 6 is not supported since 2.0.2.Final)
  2. detect the GWT version and skip GwtDevHostedModeContainer for 2.6+
  3. change the container detection ordering

Let me explain the third option. Right now GwtDevHostedModeContainer is the first container we try to detect. Older versions of GWT dev bundled both Tomcat 6 and Jetty 6 classes but were using Jetty container. Therefore it was necessary to detect GWT dev before Tomcat. However I believe this is not needed anymore as we don't support Tomcat 6 in Weld 2.2+ and we use a different class to detect Tomcat 7+. So we could change the detection ordering so that GwtDevHostedModeContainer is after the regular Jetty container. The question is whether org.jboss.weld.environment.jetty.JettyContainer will work with GWT dev mode.
