[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (WELD-985) Make Tomcat 6 and Jetty 6 and 7 specific configuration obsolete

[Geoffrey De Smet (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-985?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12654543#comment-12654543 ] 

Geoffrey De Smet commented on WELD-985:
---------------------------------------

The jetty-env.xml is the biggest pita, because it needs to be different between Jetty 6 and Jetty 7, which means we have to build a separate war for both versions.

Note that the existence of META-INF/context.xml is far less of a problem: jetty and tomcat simply ignore that file, so there is no need to build a separate war.

> According to the documentation:
>   http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/1.1.0.Final/en-US/html_single/#d0e5286
> We have to add extra configuration files to deploy to certain appservers and certain versions.
> But the existence of those files can sometimes create issues on other appservers.
> For example, jetty 6 needs an WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml file (and Jetty 7 needs another version of that file).
> "Maven profiles" are not a solution, see WELD-984.
> Since weld-servlet's bootstrap actually detects what appserver and what version is in play, it should be thoroughly investigated if weld can't do that for us
> and only configure the content of those extra files if the correct appserver/version is being used.
