Hello Jim,
No, your answer doesn't seem to shed any new light at all. Global.asa in asp provides
4 extremely useful and even critical functions that should also be in jsp. These
functions are applicationOnStart, applicationOnEnd, sessionOnStart and sessionOnEnd.
If you think about the names of these functions for a minute, their usage should be
obvious.
The applicationOnStart functionality is especially important in that it provides a
very convenient place for application wide initialization on web server start up.
Typically, you'll define a lot of static variables that be accessed by any servlet or
jsp page.
I can envision some possibilities for workarounds, but it seems like a definate hole
in jsp compared to asp.
What is the status of global.jsa ? Thank you.
John Hogan
