[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (WELD-823) Injection into Servlet not working in Jetty 6.x

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-823?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12575990#comment-12575990 ] 

Dan Allen commented on WELD-823:
--------------------------------

Yep, that did it. There must be a jetty-web.xml file in WEB-INF with the contents cited in the reference documentation.

<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN"
   "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
<Configure id="webAppCtx" class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
   <Call class="org.jboss.weld.environment.jetty.WeldServletHandler" name="process">
      <Arg><Ref id="webAppCtx"/></Arg>
   </Call>
</Configure>

So it appears that the message that injection is available into Servlets is premature. It really means injection may be available to Servlets if you also have this configuration in place. Perhaps a follow-up log message should occur in the process() method that gives the confirmation statement.

> Apparently the test suite does not test injection into Servlets for Jetty 6.x because users are reporting that it doesn't work. I added a Servlet injection into the numberguess example and was able to verify that the injection is not taking place, despite receiving the startup message:
> INFO: Jetty detected, JSR-299 injection will be available in Servlets and Filters. Injection into Listeners is not supported.
> If this turns out to be a user error, then we need to turn to a documentation improvement, because a guy like Antonio should not be having difficulty getting this to work.
