Ooofff ... off-by-one error warning ... :-) Quoting "Craig R. McClanahan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> > If you are in a Servlet 2.4 environment, use a ServletContextListener -- this > is > exactly what they are defined to do. Your contextInitialized() method is > called once, before any requests are accepted by the app, and > contextDestroyed() is called exactly once when the app is removed (or the > server is shut down). This actually works from Servlet 2.3 onward. > If you are in a Servlet 2.3 environment, use a Struts PlugIn. Under most > scenarios, this will have the same effect (as long as you set the > load-on-startup attribute in web.xml); however servlet containers are > allowed > to unload and reload a servlet during the lifetime of an application, which > would cause the initialization to be redone at reload. Fortunately, > containers > don't tend to do that -- especially not to a servlet that will get invoked > as > often as the Struts controller servlet does. > This advice actually applies to Servlet 2.2 platforms, before ServletContextListener was part of the standard Servlet spec. > Craig McClanahan Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
