Constructor Detail

ModuleContextLoaderServlet

public ModuleContextLoaderServlet()

Method Detail

init

public void init()
          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Initialize the root web application context.

Overrides:

init in class javax.servlet.GenericServlet

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

createContextLoader

protected ContextLoader createContextLoader()

Create the ContextLoader to use. Can be overridden in subclasses. Creates the ModuleContextLoader as default.

Returns:

the new ContextLoader

getContextLoader

public ContextLoader getContextLoader()

Return the ContextLoader used by this servlet.

Returns:

the current ContextLoader

destroy

public void destroy()

Close the root web application context.

Specified by:

destroy in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

destroy in class javax.servlet.GenericServlet

service

public void service(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
             throws IOException

This should never even be called since no mapping to this servlet should ever be created in web.xml. That's why a correctly invoked Servlet 2.3 listener is much more appropriate for initialization work ;-)

Overrides:

service in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Throws:

IOException

getServletInfo

public String getServletInfo()

Specified by:

getServletInfo in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

getServletInfo in class javax.servlet.GenericServlet
