First of all, thanks to all who answered to my previous posting!
I did not want one of this big "use another framework
[Spring/AppFuse/Hibernate/...] in addition to Struts2" things. While this is
surely the right way to go for a lot of heavy weight systems there are also
smaller lightweight apps which need some initialization at startup time (and
btw: these other frameworks themselves need a hook to the lifecycle events of
the web app)
Finally I found the way to go:
just use a ServletContextListener and put the configuration parameters you need
in the deployment descriptor web.xml.
The only "trick" needed: use <context-param> instead of <init-param>!
One can access these context parameters the same way like servlet init
parameters:
use
...
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent lcEvent) {
ServletContext context = lcEvent.getServletContext();
String par = context.getInitParameter("foo"); // this will access the
context parameter "foo" from web.xml
...
}
