Guys, Can some of the fine experts on this list double check my assertions below and let me know if I'm going wrong anywhere? I hope I got it all right. :-)
Assertion #1 If metadata-complete="true" is present in the deployment descriptor: A) The container does NOT scan /WEB-INF/classes for annotations, B) The container does NOT scan /WEB-INF/lib JARs for ServletContainerInitializers, C) The container does NOT scan /WEB-INF/lib JARs for web-fragment.xml files, and D) The container does NOT scan /WEB-INF/lib JARs for annotations. Assertion #2 If class loading is configured "parent last," the ServletContainerInitializers in the application are fired before ServletContainerInitializers provided by the container. If class loading is configured "parent first", the ServletContainerInitializers provided by the container fire before the ServletContainerInitializers in the application. Assertion #3 ServletContainerInitializers in the container and in /WEB-INF/lib JARs are fired before any ServletContextListeners. The order in which they are fired is determined by <absolute-ordering> (web.xml) and/or <order> (web-fragment.xml), but if neither of those are present the order is unspecified. Assertion #4 The init methods of ServletContextListeners declared in the container, in /WEB-INF/classes, and in /WEB-INF/lib JARS are all fired BEFORE the init methods of any Filters or Servlets. The destroy methods of ServletContextListeners declared in the container, in /WEB-INF/classes, and in /WEB-INF/lib JARs are all fired AFTER the destroy methods of any Filters or Servlets. Assertion #5 The init methods of Filters declared in the container, in /WEB-INF/classes, and in /WEB-INF/lib JARs are all fired BEFORE the init methods of any Servlets. The destroy methods of Filters declared in the container, in /WEB-INF/classes, and in /WEB-INF/lib JARs are all fired AFTER the destroy methods of any Servlets. Assertion #6 If any given ServletContainerInitializer is the first ServletContainerInitializer to be fired when an application starts up, and that ServletContainerInitializer adds a ServletContextListener and a Filter to the ServletContext: A) The Listener it adds will be the first Listener whose init method is called and the last Listener whose destroy method is called, B) The Filter it adds will be the first Filter whose init method is called and the last Filter whose destroy method is called, and C) The Filter will be the first Filter on the Filter chain, always.
