I think right now the "servlet" integration from the cxf-rt-transports-http package is "bad" and that the one from Meecrowave (in org.apache.meecrowave.cxf) is more likely to be the way to go (it derives from cxf-integration-cdi). So this looks a lot closer to Meecrowave than I originally expected, with a lot of "buts" though: - Meecrowave feels a lot like "Tomcat for Meecrowave" while the goal here is a "Meecrowave for Tomcat" - The JAR has all of Tomcat, log4j, API JARs, etc, while it should here be based off Tomcat, the javax APIs and OWB already present in the Tomcat OWB implementation JAR (the classic "tomcat7" or the modernized "tomcat-owb") - log4j would need to be removed as well - plenty of configuration files and options in the JARs, but I guess that's the way it is since all the subcomponents are so flexible > > >>> More technically: openwebbeans does not need properties files you can >>> pass Properties when you create the WebBeansContext, this is what tomee >>> does.
