Matija Mazi updated WELDX-84:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: move-tomcat-injection-from-support-jar.patch


The patch tomcat-injection-from-support-jar.patch implements one way to do injection into Servlets and Filters in Tomcat without the need for tomcat-support.jar. Instead of in WeldLifecycleListener (which thus becomes redundant), the AnnotationProcessor is replaced in Listener using reflection to access private fields in Tomcat's Context classes.

The tomcat-support.jar still contains JspInitialization and its dependencies, but as AFAIK this is not needed for injection. (Actually, I don't know where and how the JspInitialization code is called.)

This patch is independent of the patch in WELDX-23. Either or both can be applied to the trunk.

> Currently we package these as separate jars, due to classloading restrictions. 
> Would be more convenient for the user to package these in the same jar. If we can find a better way to add the injection support to Tomcat and Jetty, then perhaps we can do away with this altogether.
