Hi Steve
I should clear something up. I have successfully deployed the simple
servlet examples using .war files and simple contexts, that is not what I'm
talking about.
Rather, I'm talking about a servlet which you can't hit through a web
browser, one that is executed (and has been set up to do so, like you would
normally do through Apache's server.xml) when the servlet engine (and JBoss
server, in this case) starts up. I want to do this to cache a number of
entity beans upon server startup. This is pretty standard functionality,
WebLogic and JRun both allow you to do this, for example, as does Tomcat
when you use server.xml (which is ignored in the Tomcat-JBoss
configuration). There is a big difference between a startup servlet and one
that you hit through a GET or POST request.
If I can't execute startup servlets with the Tomcat-JBoss configuration,
then it's useless to me, I'll have to run Tomcat with Apache, and let JBoss
run in its own virtual machine. I must have startup servlets.
Please let me know if this is still unclear.
