Bug Report: Servlet container initializers do not see annotated classes from lib/warlibs jars (PrimeFaces 16 JSF1068) #8491

Brief Summary

Servlet container initializers (e.g. Mojarra's FacesInitializer) do not receive annotated classes from jars in lib/warlibs, so with PrimeFaces 16 in warlibs, @FacesComponent classes are never registered.

Expected Outcome

Classes in warlib jars matching a ServletContainerInitializer's @HandlesTypes are passed to it, as for classes in WEB-INF/lib. PrimeFaces components render normally.

Current Outcome

Rendering a page using p:inputText fails:

JSF1068: Cannot instantiate component with component-type org.primefaces.component.InputText
jakarta.faces.FacesException: Expression Error: Named Object: org.primefaces.component.InputText not found.

Cause: warlibs are scanned once and their types cached in DeploymentUtils.getWarLibraryCache(), and cached jars are excluded from later scans (getWarLibraryURIs()). ServletContainerInitializerUtil.getInitializerList builds the @HandlesTypes input only from the deployment's Types, never from that cache. Only Weld (WeldUtils) reads it.

Reproducer

1. Put PrimeFaces 16 in lib/warlibs.
2. Deploy a Faces app that uses p:inputText with warlibs enabled.
3. Open the page.
