When a servlet starts, the loader first invokes its init() method in order
for the
servlet to initialize. And the signature of this method is:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException.
As the method doesn't return any object, is there any mean to tell the
loader
that the servlet could not be correctly initialized? In my case, the init()
method
first attempts to open a properties file. If the file cannot be found, the
servlet will not function properly and thus i would like the web server to
return an error and not to try to invoke any service() or doGet() method.
