I\'ve read and followed followin

Answer 1

Ok issue is now resolved. I can confirm the following for Apache Tomcat/7.0.56:

• /META-INF/context.xml is not required however the resource entry is still required. To resolve the issue I added the resource entry in the following existing location: tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost{resource-file-name}.xml

After that no errors appeared.

• No related listeners need to be registered in web.xml
• No related are required in web.xml
• /WEB-INF/beans.xml (empty) is required

Most of the above is covered here: http://balusc.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/how-to-install-cdi-in-tomcat.html

I wanted to provide an update to this though as some may find the resource loading part on tomcat helpful.

Thanks again BallusC. I've up-voted a similar post because the suggestion related to it helped me resolve this issue.
