Use Interceptor(s) in Tomcat 7

General
1

Hi,

I need to use Interceptor(s) in my Vaadin application running on Apache Tomcat 7 and Java 6. Can I use Interceptors in this web application as Tomcat is a servlet container and interceptor are in Java EE 6.

Can I use Interceptor in Tomcat or NOT ? If yes please let me know how (with out using Spring framework). I tried in Oracle Java Application server (using Netbeans) and can use them there. Problem comes in using @Inject.

Thanks
Vivek

You need to use Apache TomEE which includes the EE support.
