Re: application scope variable lost

[Jon Wingfield]

Even though your Servlet is loaded on startup the container (ie tomcat) 
is free to unload and reload servlets at any time. This is why it is so 
much better (IMO) to use ServletContextListeners for application 
configuration. Does your servlet create empty maps even if they already 
exist on the context? If so, the behaviour you are seeing is probably a 
reload of your Servlet. (Weird that all 3 apps showed the same behaviour 
at the same time, though)

I have three contexts running basically the same application. (one is 
semi-production, and two sandboxes). All of them having bunch of hasmaps 
in the application scope to use as a reference. there is only one 
servlet per application that actually does writing to these hashmaps, 
the rest of the pages/servlets only read the values. the servlet that 
creates the hashmaps is loaded on startup and has no doGet, or doPost 
methods. everything seemed fine until this morning out of blue i noticed 
that all three contexts have empty hashmaps. they were fine earlier this 
morning though.

this is something i was not ready for.. any clues or suggestions what 
could be the cause? any help is appreciated..

thanks,
Vlad
