How does Seam hookup with JSF at server startup?

submited by krishnas on Thu Mar 27th, 2008

JBoss 4.2.1.GA comes with JSF 1.2 RI (Reference Implementation) and by default registers JBossJSFConfigureListener class as a context listener for any web app you deploy. To see how this is done, look at the web.xml file under \ server\ default\ deploy\ jboss-web.deployer\ conf\ directory. The above web.xml is common to all web applications you deploy which means that JBossJSFConfigureListener gets a chance to participate in your web application lifecycle events, such as when the context is initialized and when the context is destroyed.
