Hi, Mhhh, my experience with that "precompile issue" (and meanwhile I have a lot of it :) says that it is not a problem of servlet loading order at startup, but you can't access *any* jsp until the server is *completely* up! Completely up means *all* servlets that must be loaded upon startup have to be done with their init-method. And thus you can't write a servlet that accesses a jsp in it's init-method and you can't forward to a jsp... That's why we need that "magic hook" we are asking for for some days now. As soon as I am through with all my current weirdness at work I will scan for that hook myself...
If any developer can say that I am totally wrong -> please do so! And if someone could point me to the right piece of source -> please do so! Another thing I keep asking myself (especially after reading the "This would be cool in tomcat as well" thread) is how to add non-portable features to tomcat, so that it still is a clean reference implementation, but has additional features that clearly do not belong to the servlet-spec... pero > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph Einfeldt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 4:59 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: AW: Precompile JSP > > > Just another version of 'How to shoot your self in the foot': > > - Make a servlet that loads on startup. > - From this servlet make a forward to a jsp > that does what ever you want after the > JSP servlet is started. > > Through the forward you force the startup of the JSP > servlet.
