Oh sorry, read ServletContextListener stuff a bit more carefully this time!
If anybody else is interested I found what looks like a good description at http://www.stardeveloper.com/go/0001 Howard -----Original Message----- From: Howard Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 August 2002 15:14 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Initialisation Errrr..... sorry, out of my depth again. I read the documentationfor ServletContextListener, and I'm not sure... Does this mean that all I have to do is implement the interface, drop the .class file in WEB-INF/classes and that's it... the code will run when the servlet starts up? Sounds too easy! How do I override the ActionServlet.init(). I can write the code but where do I put it? Bootstrap servlet - what's that? Plugins - Is there any documentation? So many questions - sorry! -----Original Message----- From: Robert Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 August 2002 14:58 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Initialisation Howard, look at javax.servlet.ServletContextListener. It is a bootstrap class for servlet containers. If you wanted to use servlets you could override ActionServlet.init() or create your own bootstrap servlet or use Struts plug ins. I use ServletContextListener because it is a standard way for bootstrapping web applications and init parameters can be defined in web.xml. robert > -----Original Message----- > From: Howard Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:51 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Initialisation > > > Errr... stupid newbie question coming up. > > If I want to create objects in the Application Scope the design notes for > Struts says....
