Hi, I have a need to write to a file from multiple servlets, possibly all
sending requests at the same time. So, I have an object which is created in
the init() routine of one of my servlets, as follows:
pieLog myLog = new pieLog();
getServletContext().setAttribute("myPieLog", myLog);
Now, other servlets access this object like this:
pieLog myLog = (pieLog) getServletContext().getAttribute("myPieLog");
pieLog is just a straightforward class defined like this:
public class pieLog {
....define vars here
public pieLog() {
...initialize stuff, open up the file for writing
}
public void sychronized dostuff(parameters) {
...do stuff to the file
}
}
This is all working, pretty much. But I am confused about how to ensure
that the object is initialized before other servlets attempt to use it? Can
I tell the servlet which creates the object to be initialized on the
servlet engine startup? I have been looking over the archives on this
mailing list, and I am also concerned about comments that servlets may be
created multiple times, or run in different contexts, at the discretion of
the servlet engine. Does this mean I need a different approach? Thanks so
much!
