Constructor Detail

ContextLoaderServlet

public ContextLoaderServlet()

Method Detail

createContextLoader

protected ContextLoader createContextLoader()

Creates the ContextLoader to use. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Returns:

the new ContextLoader

init

public final void init()
                throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Initializes the faces root web application context.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in cases of errors

See Also:

GenericServlet.init()

destroy

public final void destroy()

Closes the faces root web application context.

See Also:

Servlet.destroy()

service

public final void service(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                          javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                   throws java.io.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 ;-)

Parameters:

request - the request

response - the response

Throws:

java.io.IOException - in cases of i/o errors
