Hi Folks I'm working on an old legacy app and noticed something. It caches a bunch of info (lookup table data) from the database using a ServletContextListener. I think opening DB connections in a listener is reasonable. While there is no business logic in the listener, I'm not sure doing a bunch of DB heavy-lifting operations in a context listener is a "good thing", although I don't really have a concrete reason why. Perhaps I'm just being fussy.
Anyway, in your opinion: 1. Is performing DB heavy-lifting operations in ServletContextListener a "reasonable" practice? 2. Is there a "better" way of caching said items at application startup? Thanks for your time and consideration. :-) -- Cris Berneburg CACI Senior Software Engineer ________________________________ This electronic message contains information from CACI International Inc or subsidiary companies, which may be company sensitive, proprietary, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
