Previously it just got the list of listeners and added it to the end of the list (i.e. not with a xml file). I tried putting it first but that didn't help so the question is, "is the ordering done at a later stage?" and "how can we get it first in all cases?" and "can we simulate a web-fragment etc so that the ordering is portable?"

You mean to add the WeldListener? Because the Weld support in JBoss AS predates Servlet 3.0 support ....

It should be trivial to switch to using a web.xml fragment, using the same system we have to insert faces-config.xml into the deployment, if this will actually help with Nik's problem?
