I have a java file which read few properties file and put the key and values read from these properties into HashMap object of singleton class..
I am doing this to read all Fixed Values which I need to display in my jsp pages. Now I want this class to run as soon as server starts... how to achieve this ..?? One approach ...to create a servlet and configure it in web.xml with <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> Is this ok...or is there any better approach to do the same thing..?

When the app starts up I have a plugin read the files and create configuration objects (using Digester), and put these objects into the servlet context (application scope) where my code can get at them easily. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of j h Sent: Thursday, 8 July 2004 19:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: application configuration If there are specific properties that need to be configured on deployment, where should these be put? you could put these in the application.properties file and read these in from an Action class every time they are needed: MessageResources mr = getResources(request); String config = mr.getMessage("configuration.detail"); This seems inefficient. Is there a way to read these into some global variables? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
