A DeployableContainer implementation that manages the complete lifecycle of an embedded (same JVM) Tomcat 6 Servlet Container. (Keep in mind that only select EE APIs are available in Tomcat 6, such as JNDI and Servlet 2.5). Test archives are adapted to Tomcat's StandardContext API by ShrinkWrap and deployed programmatically.

Container Injection Support Matrix

@Resource	@EJB	@EJB (no-interface)	@Inject (CDI)	@Inject (MC)	@PersistenceContext @PersistenceUnit

CDI support requires use of Weld Servlet and associated configuration. The WAR will have to be unpacked as well in order for Weld to locate the classes. See the following configuration example.
