Tomcat and HTTPServlet destroy Problem

[Marko Langbein]

Hi,

i run an tomcat 5.5.9 and jdk-1_5_0_03-windows-i586-p.

I'm write an small test HttpServlet (with init/destroy), wich on-loaded
through web.xml at starttime. The init function correctly called by tomcat.

But uf i close tomcat, the destroy function do not called:

----------------snips from servlet code
public class Controller extends HttpServlet {
Logging log;

public void init() throws ServletException {
super.init();
buildController();
return;
}


private void buildController() {
log = new Logging();
log.log("start");
}



public void destroy() {
try {
log.log("end");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return;
}
}
----------------snips from servlet code

Have somebody same problems or can verify my problem?

best regards
Marko Langbein

----------------snips from servlet code [...]

public void destroy() {
try {
log.log("end");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return;
}
}

Put a log statement in that catch and see if an exception is being
thrown. Also put a log statement in init() to be sure it's being called
properly.

Yeah - init() works correctly.

I think, this is a little bit beta version of tomcat

On that note, what version? How are you launching and closing Tomcat?

 

[Marko Langbein]

On that note, what version?

This: jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9.tar.gz

How are you launching and closing Tomcat?

startup.bat and shutdown.bat ....

The following class (based on your post) with the following web.xml
produce the following log for me on Tomcat 5.5.9 under Windows XP.

I performed the following set of operations:
- start Tomcat
- access servlet
- stop Tomcat
- start Tomcat
- stop Tomcat

Note the corresponding start/end log entries.

How are you testing your version of this class? Can you post something
compilable and a copy of your web.xml?

---begin Controller.java---

super.init();

}
private void buildController() {
log( "start" );
}
protected void service(
HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse resp )
throws ServletException, IOException {
log( "service" );
}
public void destroy() {
try {
log( "end" );
} catch ( Exception e ) {
log( e.getMessage() );
}
}
}
