It appears that the tag <load-on-startup> is ignored when the server starts.
However, it does seem to load the servlets based on the order of the
<servlet> tags.
Place this code in your servlets to see a time value:
public void init(ServletConfig sconf) throws ServletException
{
super.init(sconf);
System.out.println("DateServlet.init loading: "+ new Date().getTime());
}
This is how I've got the tags specified in the
/orion/default-web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml file:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>date</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>DateServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>20</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>SnoopServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
On my system the DateServet always loads first.
