You could uild a MVC app where there are no page accesses that don't pass through the controller (i.e. index.form and form is mapped to a servlet which does a requestDispatcher to index.html or index.jsp). Have the controller only pass people through if the validation has occured successfully.
If this is greek I can give you a better example. --mikej -=----- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Extance, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 12:13 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How to abort the webapp load/deployment Hello, Is it possible to write a 'validation' servlet, that does some basic checks, which if fail, cause the whole web application to be unavailable? This servlet would be flagged as <load-on-startup> such that it was the first one to execute. I'm trying to achive something similar to JBoss 2.x where if the verifier fails for an EAR, it does not deploy it at all. I want the similar concept but for my Web Application, such that critical initialization errors make the the whole application unavailable. I can't find anythingin in the Java Servlet Spec to indicate that this is possible, or anything in the tomcat documenation. Thoughts? Thanks PaulE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
