Description

The new Http Service implementation currently does not support any Servlet API listeners at all. Support for some listeners can easily be implemented in a transparent way: ServletContextAttributeListener, ServletRequestListener, ServletRequestAttributeListener.

The HttpSession listeners can probably not easily be implemented in such a transparent way.

The ServletContextListener is probably not worth it supporting. Most (if not all) use cases for ServletContextListeners in traditional web applications can be solved in better ways in an OSGi framework.
