In a JSP/servlets context, application-scope variables are stored in the
ServletContext. When I need application-scope variables to be initialized when
the server is started up, I do the following:
* Create a servlet that initializes the shared
variables in its init() method, and stores
them with a call to:
getServletContext().setAttribute("name", object);
* Instruct my servlet engine to run this servlet
at startup time (not currently possible with
the JSWDK servlet engine, but most others
have a configuration parameter for this).
* Don't map this servlet to any URI path or
filename extension, so there's no way to
accidentally access it from a client.
* Optionally, put cleanup stuff in the destroy()
method of this servlet, which will get executed
when this servlet is shut down (normally only at
the end of the servlet engine's life, but you cannot
really count on this).
In JSP 1.1 (based on the Servlet 2.2 API spec), you will also be able to
initialize things in the application scope with settings in the application's
deployment descriptor.

To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body
of the message "signoff JSP-INTEREST". For general help, send email to
