Hello all,
I would like to have a bean with a data structure that gets
populated when the application starts and then this bean is
available to the entire application. The data structure will get
populated via a data base. I need to call the database just once to
populate the data structure. In case the database changes I would
restart the server and have this bean populated again. Hence all the
sessions can query the data structure within this bean. How can I
achieve this?
If you are using Servlet 2.3 or newer, you should probably use
javax.servlet.ServletContextListener; If you are still using Servlet
2.2, or if your initialization process needs access to a specific
Struts ModuleConfig, then use org.apache.struts.action.PlugIn
Details of ServletContextListener should be in any decent Servlet
Reference. Details on PlugIn can be found here:
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/building_controller.html#plugin_classes
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/configuration.html#plugin_config
http://struts.apache.org/api/org/apache/struts/action/PlugIn.html
