Brian Leathem commented on SEAMSERVLET-45:
------------------------------------------

We could solve this some kind of WebXmlLocator service, with provider specific implementations, using the EE SeviceLoader API.

> In Seam Faces, we would like to access the web.xml file from within a CDI extension (SEAMFACES-185).  This is currently not possible to do in a portable way, as the ServletContext is not available from CDI extensions (at least not in EE environments).
> In servlet environments, we can simply delegate to the ServletContext, but in EE environments, we may have to provide implementation specific ways of loading the web.xml file.
