Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- i am in the middle of a very tight project at the moment. i am wondering if somebody can help me with the following problem that i encountered: - running jserv 1.1.2 with apache server 1.3. i created a new zervlet zone with the required properties file. in the .properties file i added this entry: servlets.startup=MyStartupServlet. in the MyStartupServlet's constructor, i tried to allocate a new object before doing other things. this is what i found: MyStartupServlet was successfully loaded everytime httpd is restarted. the constructor got executed. however, a new object was never allocated. a call to this 'new XXXXX()' never returns. all the code AFTER the line that allocates this new object never got executed. the funny thing was jserv seemed to proceed as normal. it didn't hang or freezed at all. it's like that portion of code got ignored. the log files didn't say if there was any error. there is nothing special about this object. it is just a normal class (not a servlet) that inherits from other class and has several methods in it. when i tried getting rid of one of its methods, everything worked fine. how strange (this method does not even get called in the constructor)! initially i thought this was something to do with the platform (initially i ran this under windows98). but even after i ran in linux (redhat 6.1), i still got the same problem. i didn't find any problem if i tried to allocate my other 'simple' classes (have very few methods with not many lines in each method), or standard java class (like String). i also did not find any problem when i tried to allocate this class in my standalone test class. problems only occurred when it was allocated from startup servlet! is this a bug, setting, or restriction that i don't know??? can somebody help me solving this problem, please?? i have been working on this for 2 days. i also have spent hours looking at the jserv faq, mailing list archive, etc. but couldn't find anything. please at least tell me where i could find the solution to this problem if this issue has been raised before. i really appreciate if somebody can email me the solution to this problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks in advance -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Search Archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/java-apache-users%40list.working-dogs.com/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
