I have a database pooling servlet which I need to load at startup time then
reference many times later. I've switched from JRun and am trying out
OrionServer, but can't seem to get it to work.
Here's my web-application.xml snippet:
-------
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GlobalConnectionBroker</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>net.anythingcreative.db.GlobalConnectionBroker</servlet-class
>
<init-param>
<param-name>configfile</param-name>
<param-value>/usr/local/jdk/ex/creative.cfg</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup></load-on-startup>
</servlet>
------
You'll notice that I'm calling it "GlobalConnectionBroker", and that's the
name I use to reference it later.
Here's my site.log, you can see that it is loaded:
---
10/22/99 8:50 AM Started
10/22/99 8:50 AM net.anythingcreative.db.GlobalConnectionBroker: init
10/22/99 8:50 AM globalBroker is loaded:
net.anythingcreative.db.DbConnectionBroker@40074b41
10/22/99 8:50 AM com.evermind.servlet.XSLServlet: init
-----
However, I don't understand why it is saying "globalBroker"? That is just a
variable for a class that GlobalConnectionBroker loads....
Anyway, here is my code that tries to grab a handle to the
GlobalConnectionBroker, but it always returns null:
Servlet servlet = null;
try {
servlet = (GlobalConnectionBroker)
application.getServlet("GlobalConnectionBroker");
} catch (Exception e) {
application.log("Exception: " + e);
return null;
}
conServlet = (GlobalConnectionBroker) servlet;
if (conServlet == null) {
// it always returns null here.......
return null;
}
Does anyone have any ideas?
