Thanks,

the reason why I believe I need to do this from the context level
is that the code running in the listener needs to access the context
classloader of the individual webapps - and they seem to me at least
be most straightforward to access from the webapp listener.

Of course, a way to access the individual webapp context classloaders
from ADD_CHILD/REMOVE_CHILD events of the container would be a good
alternative (definitely more clean approach than my current idea of
injecting the listener).

Am not sure, but, whatever job your injected contextlistener is supposed
to do, it could perhaps be done in the container listener without
ressorting to context listener, isn't it? (using ADD_CHILD for the
'context initialized' and REMOVE_CHILD for contect destroyed)?
As for calling init on your injected listern, is suppose you will have
to do it yourself.

Hello,

I would like to have the Tomcat container to inject a specific
ServletContextListener to each loaded webapp on my server - without
touching the individual web.xml files, and am looking for advise on
how to achieve this.

In other words, I'd like to have the container act as if there was
<listener>
 <listener-class>MyListenerClass</listener-class>
</listener>
section in the web.xml file for each application?

Currently, I have added a ContainerListener on my Host, which
is listening on ADD_CHILD messages to discover newly added
StandardContext instances, and performs the following on each
new StandardContext (where ctx is a reference to the added context):

 Object[] listeners = ctx.getApplicationLifecycleListeners();
 Object[] newListeners = new Object[listeners.length+1];
 System.arraycopy(listeners,0,newListeners,0,listeners.length);
 newListeners[newListeners.length-1]=ctxListener;
 ctx.setApplicationLifecycleListeners(newListeners);

With this, my listener is already able to capture the contextDestroyed
events from the webapp - but not the contextInitialized. It looks like
the
Context is added to the host only after it has been already initialized.

What I'm looking for is a way to be able to inject the webapp listener
in an earlier phase, so that I can also capture the contextInitialized
messages. Any ideas? Also, if there's an overall better way to inject
the webapp listener, please let me know -- the above way feels rather
crude.

Thanks,
