Re: question about load-on-startup in web.xml

[Parsons Technical Services]

I may be off base on this one but I think that once Tomcat fires off the 
init method it doesn't care or monitor the progress of the servlet. Just 
think, some servlets may take several minutes to finish. If other apps had 
to wait then it could take a long time to get the server started.

Now as for a solution I am really speculating here (hopefully someone can 
educate both of us). I would look at a wait statement in the init method to 
pause the second app's servlet until the first one is done. Simply time the 
first app's servlet and set it for a little more.

Hopefully someone will set me straight if I am off base here.

Subject: question about load-on-startup in web.xml

hi,
regarding the <load-on-startup> tag in web.xml:
say i have 2 web apps (webapp1 and webapp2).  if i configure webapp1's
servlet to have <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> and webapp2's
servlet to have <load-on-startup>100</load-on-startup>, does this mean
that tomcat will init webapp1's servlet first and once that's done,
it'll init webapp2's servlet?
basically, i want both web app's servlets to auto initialize on tomcat
startup, but i want webapp2's servlet to initialze only after
webapp1's servlet has finished initialization.  when i use the above
load-on-startup settings, webapp2's servlet seems to initialize before
webapp1's servlet has finished initialization.
thanks.
