Description

Following up to http://shiro-developer.582600.n2.nabble.com/Deprecation-of-org-apache-shiro-web-servlet-IniShiroFilter-td7205283.html

I am integrating shiro into our OSGI based product. The requirement to register the WebEnvironment listener on startup is a real problem.

""it would be extremely easy to create a subclass of ShiroFilter that
initializes the necessary WebEnvironment at filter startup. If you
can't use a servlet context listener, this would be the next best
thing and would work as expected. The EnvironmentLoaderListener is
extremely minimal on purpose - the real work is done in the parent
class, which can be used from a Filter easily. ""
