I creating a Java EE 7 project using Eclipse Maven plugin. My problem is when I run the application the class that implements SerlvetContextListener does not get invoked. What is causing this problem?
@WebListener
public class ApplicationContextListener implements ServletContextListener{
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce)
{
Request request = new HttpRequest(sce);
new Thread (request).start();
HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
}
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce)
{
}
}
web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"

In web.xml you also need to specify the
<listener-class>
.
