Re: Terminating or suspending an application if a "on start up" servlet throws an exception?

Or does it only mark that Servlet as unavailable? Throwing a 
RuntimeException from the contextInitialized() method of a 
ServletContextListener will mark the context as unavailable.
Use of a ServletContextListener to do app initialization is probably the 
way to go instead of load-on-startup servlets.

Subject: Terminating or suspending an application if a "on 
start up" servlet throws an exception?

G'day,

Is it possible to have Tomcat 4.1.x terminate or suspend 
access to an application if a servlet which is fired at start 
up throws an exception? For example, we have two servlets 
which are loaded on start up.  The first one sets up the 
database connection pool and the second one does various 
other application initialisation type actions.  If either one 
throws an exception then I'd like the application to be unavailable.

Can this be done?  If so then how?
