That was "constructor" btw. Also. just to clarify more. Nic also mentioned that the init is called once. "it is created once, init() is called and then it services each request."
This is the default behavior although you should read about distributed and SingleThreadModel servlets to see some possible exceptions to this rule. But with the default (as we can only assume that is what ur doing) there is only 1 instance of that Servlet running. I think that was implied in my last email but I just wanted to make it more clear. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 1:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: servlet init parameters - again I think Nic did a great job of answering the question. If you read his reply without looking at it with such a critical eye, you'll see that he mentions that "Because the servlet is still loaded and working" To your question. This means that the Servlet has been initialized by u to have values for the host and name. Since there is nothing in ur code to change or reset the values.. that is the way they remain. Its almost like changing init to be a constructor and saying: Servlet x = new Servlet(); x has data members of host and name and you gave them values in the "onstructor". Why should they "vanish"? -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Piotr Korzybski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 1:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: servlet init parameters - again Nic, thank you for your INTERESTING reply.

I am pretty sure now that my inquiry was too long. Your remark evidently testifies you didn't read my question. > Otherwise we can't see what you've done wrong, can we? I have done nothing wrong. I have just asked the question concerning specific running of the servlet. > You should go read some basic servlet introduction for more details. Yes, it is a basic problem. For such ones I would prefer simple explanations more experienced people instead of admonishing.
