Hi :-) I forgot the following:
with TC4.0-b5, when "<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>", I remember:
- MyServlet is loaded, i.e.: One Class object of MyServlet is made
- One instance of MyServlet is made, this instance is for that sevlet-declaration
which you set "<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>" for
- init(...) method of this instance is invoked, then, for example, your
DBconnectionPool
is initialized
But: you must use That servlet-name/servlet-mapping to invoke MyServlet,
otherwise,
another instance of MyServlet will be made, and its init(...) will Still be
invoked,
i.e.: "the first time" will Still be slow.
and it is possible that container will invoke int(...)/destroy() more than one
time.
