Observing ProcessAnnotatedType event in Tomcat

[djm82]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to listen to the mentioned event as described in the PFD and the Javadoc. I've written an Oberserver method:

public void decorateAnnotatedType(@Observes ProcessAnnotatedType<Game> pat)
{
  System.out.println(pat.getAnnotatedType());
}

Game is the Game class from the numberguess example. The problem is that this method never gets called. I can see that the appropriate Event is fired by the Observer resolution somehow fails. Could you point me in the direction how to correctly use this event?

I'm using Weld-Servlet 1.0.0.CR1 and Tomcat 6.0.20.0.

Thanks,
Daniel

Right, you can only listen to container lifecycle events from an Extension, declared in META-INF, not from an ordinary bean. Check the package-level javadoc.

D'Oh. Always the same mistake. I've put the service file in /META-INF/services and not in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/service.

But thanks anyway.

Please use 1.0.0, I made quite a few fixes to the extensions support there.
