[jetty-users] Force init-on-startup for embedder jetty servlets

[Gilad Barkai <giladbarkai@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm using embedded Jetty (6.1.26), and would like a servlet to start right when the server is starting up - rather than the lazy initialization upon request.

I tried different approaches none succeeded.

Original code looks like this:

Server server = new Server(7000);

Context context = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS);

context.addServlet(new MyServlet(), "/myServlet/*");

server.start();

This defaults to the lazy initalization. 

In order to force init on start, I tried the following approaches without success:

• starting the context separately
• .setInitOrder(0)
• moved to ServletHolder and call its .start()
• moved to ServletHandler and use .setInitializeAtStart(true)

Is it possible to force such init-on-startup?

If so, I would appreciate any clues.

Thanks,

Gilad Barkai.
