Could possibly remove the requirement to specify SeamListener in web.xml
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1321
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1321
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA
         Environment: Tomcat 6
            Reporter: Mike Quilleash


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.
