[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (WELD-675) Add a ServletContext configuration parameter for enabling/disabling automatic session creation in WeldListener/ServletLifecycle

Add a ServletContext configuration parameter for enabling/disabling automatic session creation in WeldListener/ServletLifecycle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WELD-675 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-675 Project: Weld Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Servlet Container Support Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta1 Reporter: Marius Bogoevici Assignee: Pete Muir As noted by Heiko here: http://github.com/weld/core/pull/10 , the ServletListener breaks in some versions of Jetty, since getSession() is unable to create a new Session. However, completely disabling new session creation for the listener changes the way ServletListener behaves, in that the first request hitting a newly started server may not have a sessioncontext/requestcontext/conversationcontext assigned to it. While this can work fine in general, I think that we need some ability to finely tune this, by adding a ServletContext parameter which would control this behaviour (allow new session creation by default, but allow users to turn this off)
