I now looked at OpenEJBs CustomApplicationFactory and the only thing it does different to the OWB impl is to check in the AppContext if CDI should be used at all.
The same functionality could be provided much easier by simply skipping all the CDI initialisation and startup if it should not be used in the OpenEJBLifecycle. That way you would not need to tweak anything for JSF integration at all.
