One more:
* New listener for FacesServlet startup/shutdown. Some JSF
extensions may need to do some initial configuration on startup and
shutdown but these extensions can't add a ServletContextListener to
web.xml. ATM you can get similar behaviour by using a PhaseListener and
deregistering it after it is first run, but that is just a workaround
really.
