Yes, unless you don't specify that that servlet should be loaded at startup
(but that's a Container behavior, I believe). Can't you simply do something
like:
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
private void String contextPath = null;
public void init(...) {
// do whatever you want but don't touch contextPath
this.contextPath = null;
}
public void service(...) {
if (this.contextPath == null) {
// derive the context path from the request
this.contextPath = ... ;
}
super.service(...);
}
....
}
Or you _NEED_ to have the context path in the INIT method (but I don't see
any reason WHY that would be needed).
