Firstly, this isn't a struts question - there will be a far more appropriate list somewhere.
Secondly - have you read the servlet spec? This will answer many questions. A quick answer - no. There is no real need to unload the servlet (althought the container may decide to do just that!) - just make sure you release any resources used during initialisation. A special type of servlet, implementing ServletContextListener, might be a better choice for context initialisation/ Paul -----Original Message----- From: Michael Cardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 November 2003 13:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do un-load (destroy) a servlet after startup? Hello, I have a couple of servlets that I start with my struts application that read some xml files and initialize my program for use. After the initialization is done, I no longer need the servlets and would like to un-load (destroy) them. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************** Axios Email Confidentiality Footer Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
