Howdy, The servlet specification, SRV 2.3 was unclear on this point. SRV 2.4 has clarified the point. From the ServletContextListener's contextInitialized() javadoc:
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) Notification that the web application is ready to process requests. All ServletContextListeners are notified of context initialisation before any servlet in the web application is initialized. >I don't know if this behavior is specific to resin or configurable within >resin, but not the behavior I am expecting given the previous discussion on >this thread. So, did I miss something critical here? It does not appear >that contextInitialized() is called before servlet init() methods if they >are configured to load on startup. At least in resin. Can someone try >this in Tomcat? So Resin will have to modify their implementation for SRV 2.4 compliance.
