Jetty 7.2+ container incorrectly identified as Jetty 7 container
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WELD-906
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-906
             Project: Weld
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Servlet Container Support
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1.Final
            Reporter: Ben Sommerville
            Priority: Minor


Weld-servlet can identify a jetty 7.3 or 7.4 environment as a Jetty 7.0 environment 
(similar problem to WELD-879 but for Jetty not tomcat)

In Listener.java it checks for a Jetty 7 container before checking for a Jetty 7.2+ container.  The version 7 check looks for the presence of org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler which is present (but not necessarily visible) in all jetty 7.x environments.  By default this class won't be found in Jetty 7.2+, but in this case Weld won't actually work.  To run Weld under Jetty 7.2+ you need to expose some of the server classes that are normally hidden, and if you don't explicitly exclude the ServletHandler class the environment is detected as Jetty 7 not 7.2+

The suggested fix would be to reverse the order in which containers are checked and check for JettyPost72Container before checking for JettyContainer

You can work around this issue by using META-INF/services to specify container or setting the ServletHandler class as a server class so that the web app can't see it
