Nic,
I loose you on this one. I won't copy the spec here, but if I understand
the phrasing in the DTD comment (page 65 in the Servlet 2.2 spec), then
it means that servlets with the load-on-startup tag shall be loaded when the
web application is started, the way I read it is that they will be loaded
when the servlet engine is started or when the web application is reloaded
somehow. Am I mis-interpreting this?
As for the order among them, which was Rob's question, then it looks even
clearer to me that the integer content of the load-on-startup tag shall
control
this (lower numbers loaded earlier).
The spec doesn't imply anything about the inter-application order
(e.g. the order servlets from different web applications are loaded).
Thanks,
--Amos
