[naviserver-devel] Loading of global modules

[Zoran V. <zv...@ar...>]

Hi!

Can somebody explain me why are the global modules
loaded as part of the prestart callbacks instead of
directly from within bin/init.tcl ??

ns_runonce -global {
     ns_atprestartup {
         set modules [ns_configsection ns/modules]
         if {$modules ne ""} {
             foreach {module file} [ns_set array $modules] {
                 ns_moduleload -global $module $file
             }
         }
     }
}


The question is: why ns_atprestartup ??

I have followed the code-sequence triggered from C-level
but I was unable to understand why, unless there is some
very hidden reason, in which case we ought to document that
in more detail.

 From what I could see, everything works fine even without
postponed loading, i.e. w/o ns_atprestartup.

Cheers
Zoran
