Question on LIsteners

[Jay Tse]

Is it true that both HTTPSessionBindingListener and HTTPSession ActivationListner
cannot be configured in web.xml?

I thought only HTTPSessionBindingListener does not need to be in web.xml.

[Christophe Verré]

HttpSessionActivationListener doesn't need it either.
It is used when an object needs to know when it will be activated/passivated.

Hi,
I Strongly Believe ONLY HTTPSessionBindingListener does not need to be put in web.xml REST all you have to.
Some books and tests depict it wrong.

NO. Its wrong perception.

HttpSessionActivationListener doesn't need to be configured in web.xml.

[mayank jamindar]

Hi,
Search for word "HttpSessionActivationListener" in
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Servlets/servletapi2.3/
and check your self.

Tell me my perception is correct or not.

[Vishnu Prakash]

Tell me my perception is correct or not.

NOT.

If you are preparing for the SCWCD exam then start using Servlet 2.4 Spec.

Write some code and then let me know whether it has to be declared in DD or not. All the Best

Hi Vishnu,
The api of 2.4 i got does not specify anything about listners.
plz provide the url to access and resolve the matter.

thanks & Regards,
Mayank

Satou kurinosuke,
Still the link does not show any api or solid proof that the HFS has done a error, While I have given the api of servlet 2.3, 2.4 does not speak abt it.
Please provide me a solid proof of concept.
thanks to you all guys.

[Jay Tse]

Thank you Satou kurinosuke and Vishnu Prakash for the answers.

I also checked the errata for HFSJ and it says that the "bang" box on page 261 is incorrect. So you guys were correct. Thank you again.

[mayank jamindar]

Thanks Guys all of you, you are correct. Thanks a lot for correcting me.
I believe you now.

Hey guys, I still do not know whether to completely trust the errata, because I think the errata needs an errata Check my other posting:

I think as Vishnu said, you have a doubt - you better write code and make sure what the answer is.
