RE: [Springframework-developer] Example classes needed

[<jue...@we...>]

Lars, Thomas,

I guess that WebLogic simply invokes the listeners after load-on-startup =
servlets. Bad WebLogic ;-)

Unfortunately, the Servlet 2.3 spec leaves this unspecified. The Servlet =
2.4 spec clarifies that listeners have to be *initialized before* and =
*destroyed after* any servlets. Tomcat and Resin already behave this =
way, Orion does too since 2.0.2 after I've informed them about the =
Servlet 2.4 clarification...

For a solution with current WebLogic versions, I agree that using the =
servlet initializers like ContextLoaderServlet and Log4jConfigServlet is =
probably the best choice, as Thomas has recommended.

Lars,

Loading ContextLoaderServlet as a servlet with load-on-startup set to 1 =
and
loading DispatcherServlet with load-on-startup set to 2 works for me on =
WebLogic
8.1 SP1.  If it does not work, could you send me the web.xml and your =
log output?

Also, I get the same errors deploying the Petclinic, so it does not work =
for me.
 Can you send me the petclinic war file that works with WebLogic 8.1 SP1 =
so I
can try it on my server?
