I would suggest spring ..but springs injected entities are *usually* 
classical pojos such as DBDrivers

Here is a project which shows great promise of injecting whole listeners 
which may be of help for your effort

Subject: How to inject a webapp listener?


> Hello,
>
> I would like to have the Tomcat container to inject a specific
> ServletContextListener to each loaded webapp on my server - without
> touching the individual web.xml files, and am looking for advise on
> how to achieve this.
>
> In other words, I'd like to have the container act as if there was
> <listener>
>  <listener-class>MyListenerClass</listener-class>
> </listener>
> section in the web.xml file for each application?
>
> Currently, I have added a ContainerListener on my Host, which
> is listening on ADD_CHILD messages to discover newly added
> StandardContext instances, and performs the following on each
> new StandardContext (where ctx is a reference to the added context):
>
>  Object[] listeners = ctx.getApplicationLifecycleListeners();
>  Object[] newListeners = new Object[listeners.length+1];
>  System.arraycopy(listeners,0,newListeners,0,listeners.length);
>  newListeners[newListeners.length-1]=ctxListener;
>  ctx.setApplicationLifecycleListeners(newListeners);
>
> With this, my listener is already able to capture the contextDestroyed
> events from the webapp - but not the contextInitialized. It looks like the
> Context is added to the host only after it has been already initialized.
>
> What I'm looking for is a way to be able to inject the webapp listener
