I would like enable/disable a servlet depending on a context init parameter.
I wrote this code in my servlet. But I'm not sure I the best way to do it. public void init() { String param = this.getServletContext().getInitParameter("PARAM"); if ("ON".equalsIgnoreCase(param)) { System.out.println("Servlet: ON"); super.init(); } else { System.out.println("Servlet: OFF"); this.destroy(); } } Any suggestion?
