[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (WELD-983) Portable war: Weld deployment on JBoss AS 7 should not require to remove the WeldListener line from the web.xml

[Geoffrey De Smet (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-983?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12634914#comment-12634914 ] 

Geoffrey De Smet commented on WELD-983:
---------------------------------------

Another alternative on how to solve it:
Create a dummy class with the same name on jboss 7 that does nothing.

But if you can make it not needed on servlet containers (including servlet 2.5 containers!) then the better :)

>          Issue Type: Bug

>            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
>            Priority: Critical

> When deploying on JBoss AS 7, the web.xml can't contain this:
> {code}
>   <listener>
>     <listener-class>org.jboss.weld.environment.servlet.Listener</listener-class>
>   </listener>
> {code}
> When deploying on any other app servers (JBoss AS 5.1 EAP, Tomcat 6, Jetty 6, ...) that code needs to be there.
> This makes for an unportable wars.
> Maven profiles cannot fix this in many cases:
> - You don't want to run your build 5 times to build 5 different wars. You run it once, build a generic war and use assembly descriptors to build 5 appserver specific wars from that.
> - When you're using GWT, you want run in GWT-hosted mode (which uses jetty 6) a lot. So the default web.xml needs to contain it.
> - When you're using arquillian-jboss7 (in maven and straight for your IDE), the default web.xml should not have it.
> - When you're deploying a generic war to nexus, the web.xml should contain it?
