> Instead of making the developer add the Weld Servle listener in their web.xml when using weld-servlet, might we consider registering it for them automatically but including it in a web.xml fragment or TLD that's bundled in weld-servlet.jar? The benefit of using the TLD is that it would work in pre-Servlet 3.0 environments.
> META-INF/web-fragment.xml

>    </listener>

>     <description>
>        An empty tag library that registers a listener to bootstrap Weld in a Servlet container.

>     <!--
>        This ServletContextListener initializes the runtime environment of the CDI
>        Reference Implementation (Weld) when a web application including it is
>        initialized by the container.
>     -->
>     <listener>
>        <listener-class>org.jboss.weld.environment.servlet.Listener</listener-class>
>     </listener>
> </taglib>
> Btw, we are already including other automatic configurations, such as a JSF phase listener and view handler (META-INF/faces-config.xml).
> If we require ordering, that leans more to web-fragment.xml as a solution, since it's possible to have ordering control. There is no guarantee as to when a listener will load that's defined in a TLD (the advantage is only for non-Servlet 3.0 containers). Given that Weld is a new programming model and likely to be used with newer containers, then I'd say we should go with web-fragment.xml.
> (Worse case scenario is we introduce a classifier for weld-servlet that will be for pre-Servlet 3.0 environments. Something like org.jboss.weld.servlet:weld-servlet:1.1:pre-servlet-3)
