     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1321?page=all ]

Gavin King closed JBSEAM-1321.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Unfortunately, we don't really have a good jar to put this in.

> I noticed the the JSF RI 1.2 uses a trick to avoid having to specify the <listener> explicitly in web.xml.  It has a .tld file in the META-INF directory of the implementation jar.  This gets scanned by the web container (Tomcat 6 in this case) and any <listener> in the file get executed.
>  <listener>
>    <listener-class>com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener</listener-class>
>  </listener>
> Maybe Seam could do something similar in the main seam jar.  As this is a tld I guess it's relying on the JSP spec, what version this listener was introduced in I'm not sure, but I guess all JEE5 implementations should support this.
