<load-on-startup>

[Neeraj Vij]

For below given configuration in web.xml, servlets will be loaded in the following order -

1.)SystemServlet
2.)AuthServlet
3.)LoginServlet


please correct me if I am wrong.



Thanks,
Neeraj.

    
 <servlet>
  <servlet-name>SystemServlet</servlet-name> 
  <display-name>SystemServlet</display-name> 
  <servlet-class>com.web.SystemServlet</servlet-class> 
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> 
  </servlet>
 <servlet>
  <servlet-name>AuthServlet</servlet-name> 
  <display-name>AuthServlet</display-name> 
  <servlet-class>com.web.Security.AuthServlet</servlet-class> 
  <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup> 
  </servlet>
 <servlet>
  <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name> 
  <display-name>LoginServlet</display-name> 
  <servlet-class>com.web.servlet.LoginServlet</servlet-class> 
  <load-on-startup>20</load-on-startup> 
  </servlet>

What else could possibly make sense?

Hi,

yes you are right.... You can give any positive integer value to load servlet and they choose according to number value....

<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> 

load first than any other servlet which have grater than 1 value.
