Actually you can have multiple application startup listeners, each
doing it's own thing. You don't need to override
StartupServletContextListener. Just make a new one and implement the
functionality that you need. For example I have 2 application scope
listeners, and one session scope listener. In my web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>com.m2g.stationtools.web.listeners.StationToolsApplicationListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>com.m2g.stationtools.web.listeners.StationToolsSessionListener</listener-class>
</listener>
In StationToolsApplicationListener I load resources like config
parameters from the database, and make sure database connections are
closed when the application shuts down.
In StationToolsSessionListener I load a list of stations from the
database and put it in the session that is a JSF referenced-bean.
Class:
public class StationToolsSessionListener implements HttpSessionListener {
private static Log log =
LogFactory.getLog(StationToolsSessionListener.class);
public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent event) {
log.info("sessionCreated(): Starting");
HttpSession session = event.getSession();
session.setAttribute("stationList", new StationList());
log.info("sessionCreated(): Ending");
}
public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent event) {
log.info("sessionDestroyed(): Starting");
DBUtil.closeSessions();
log.info("sessionDestroyed(): Ending");
}
}
faces-config.xml
<faces-config>
<referenced-bean>
<referenced-bean-name>stationList</referenced-bean-name>
<referenced-bean-class>com.m2g.stationtools.web.faces.model.StationList</referenced-bean-class>
</referenced-bean>
...
