Ok, first side peeve is that I have to use
<listener> <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class> </listener> with jetty 8... but that is not my issue (though it could be related) my issue is that as soon as com.sun.jersey.server.impl.container.servlet.JerseyServletContainerInitializer is on the classpath for the webapp, jetty 8 picks up the /META-INF/services/ reference to it... and then, for some reason, MyFaces fails to initialize, suggesting that I should add the <listener> config THAT I ALREADY HAVE ADDED. Now it could be a bug in jetty that it parses the /META-INF/services even though my web.xml is saying 2.5 spec webapp... but still Anyone any ideas? -Stephen
