Re: How to execute an initialization by using another servlet entry in web.xml

2004-06-24 Thread Bill Siggelkow
If you are using approach #3 then extend HttpServlet. However, you 
should not need to be accessing the ActionServlet from the init servlet. 
Perhaps you could provide some more background on what you are trying to 
accomplish.

I want to use #3 approach mentioned in this link.

My questions are :
(A stupid question) Does this initialization class that I would specify 
in web.xml, should it be a servlet,ActionServlet, or most importantly 
could it be a just an ordinary java class.

How do I access this servlet entry(this instance of class) from my main 
ActionServlet?

Thank you

Thank you for answering the first part of the question.
What I am trying to do is, this MyXMLParserServlet(the new entry in web.xml) 
parses an XML file. From my main ActionServlet.process() , I want to do 
something like MyXMLParserServlet.getElement() . I won't be calling this 
method from the init() method of my actionServlet.

Thanks again.

Hi Manoj:

Does your getElement() method depend on the individual request? If not you could 
declare it as a static method and then simply access it using 
MyXMLParserServlet.getElement(). Otherwise that method may need a request parameter in 
its signature or something else - depending on your needs..

Hth,
Geeta

Re: How to execute an initialization by using another servlet entry in web.xml

2004-06-24 Thread Nicolas De Loof

You should put the configuration object into application scope (servletContext) so it 
can be accessed from any servlet /
jsp of your app.

You can put MyXMLParserServlet itself into servletcontext and access it from struts 
action by:

MyXMLParserServlet conf = (MyXMLParserServlet)
getServlet().getServletContext().getAttribute(MyXMLParserServlet.CONF_BEAN);

I'd suggest to define an interface for methods used by actions, to be able to change 
it easier if needed :


class MyXMLParserServlet extends HttpServlet implements IConf {
...

interface IConf {
public final static String CONF_BEAN = ...
Element getElement();
}

in action :
IConf conf = (IConf) getServlet().getServletContext().getAttribute(ICond.CONF_BEAN);
