tomcat will also stop the application if a runtimeexception is thrown from servlet's init. so you can just throw any runtime exception and you are set.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Regarding the Exception. What would be the recommended approach for
cases where init() is not able to complete successfully? In my case
init() might fail because the database can't be started (bad
configuration, etc.). With a Servlet I can throw a ServletException and
the container (Tomcat) will stop the application. What should a
WebApplication do?


Thanks,

Marty
