StartupServletContextListener should ignore missing web.xml
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-630
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-630
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Components: Implementation
Versions: 1.1.0
Environment: any proper J2EE container
Reporter: Thomas Timbul
Priority: Critical
When myfaces is placed on the container classpath, the Startup Listener is
called for each web application.
The listener fails (crashes and does not recover) with a NPE if the application
does not have a web.xml file, although this is a perfectly legal J2EE
configuration (e.g. html only web-app).
Correct behaviour would be to ignore (skip) a context if no web.xml file can be
found.
Although I have no patch, it should be easy to fix by adding a simple check for
whether the file is found or not before passing it to the xml parser.
