servlets - ServletContainerInitializer vs ServletContextListener - Stack Overflow

The ServletContainerInitializer implementation is intented to be bundled in a JAR file which is in turn been dropped in /WEB-INF/lib of the webapp. The JAR file itself should have a /META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer file containing the FQN of the ServletContainerInitializer implementation in the JAR. Please note that this file should thus not be placed in the webapp itself!

This allows webapp module developers to let their JAR file hook on webapp's startup and shutdown cycle. It's true that they could also have used a ServletContextListener with @WebListener for this, but this won't work if the webapp's own web.xml file has a metadata-complete="true" attribute set in <web-app> which means that the webapp shouldn't scan JARs for annotations (which saves startup time).

That the ServletContainerInitializer doesn't work in your particular case can only mean that you're actually not developing a module JAR file, but just a part integral to your own web application. In that case, the ServletContainerInitializer is useless for you and you should be using ServletContextListener instead.
