I don't believe there's any standard behavior specified by the servlet spec for when a servlet will be taken out of service. My guess is that a servlet would never be taken out of service by a servlet container, mostly because the overhead of managing that process would be worse than simply letting it live in memory for the life of the server. But you should not rely on this fact, because it's not in the specification anywhere. > If I need the servlet to be unloaded only when the container stops, how do I > do this? Does the servlet contain some special data or something? You're not supposed to do that. If you need long-living objects available for your application, you should be using a ServletContextListener to load them on context start and then un-load them on context stop. The logical place to store these objects in the meantime is in the ServletContext (application scope) or in JNDI somewhere. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHKfB89CaO5/Lv0PARArSbAJ44eOuTJbkegTWKxTTXCDpLyDzDNACfQvO7 qMPCNGe5eJLc8ZJ0opRaIKE= =Vjm4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
