Hi,
We used a servlet with init() and destroy() methods to start the services we
wanted to run at the tomcat startup and stop when tomcat is stopped. But we
found that the servlet's init() is getting called 5 times and destroy is not
at all being called.
The xml tag we used in web.xml is
<servlet>
<servlet-name>initializerServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>InitializerServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Any clues what could be the problem.
Thanks,
Sudheshna.M.

Hi Sudheshna
That's easy.
Just use a servlet which gets startet on tomcats startup.
In it's init() just start your Runnable.
The doXXX() methods are empty, as this servlet will never be called.
Tschau
