      When using Listener.using(WeldContainer) to pass a previously created Weld SE container to a Servlet in order to have injection available the startup of the servlet fails with a NullPointerException:

      This used to work flawlessly in Weld <5.

      It also works if the listener does creation of the weld container, however this is not helpful for me.

      Example:

      public class Main {    
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {        
              Weld weld = new Weld();
              WeldContainer weldContainer = weld.initialize();
              Server jetty = new Server(7777);
              ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler();
              context.setContextPath("/");
              context.setResourceBase("src/main/resources");
              jetty.setHandler(context);
              context.addServlet(HelloWorldServlet.class, "/*");
              context.addEventListener(Listener.using(weldContainer));
              jetty.start();
              jetty.join();
          }
          @ApplicationScoped
          public static class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {
              @Inject
              BeanManager manager;
              protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
                  resp.setContentType("text/plain");
                  resp.getWriter().append("Hello from " + manager);
              }
          }
      }
