ServletContextListener and errors

           Summary: ServletContextListener and errors
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bim2003@basistech.com


Tomcat helpfully catches exceptions from ServletContextListeners and aborts 
the initialization of the web app. There's just one problem: a listener cannot 
explicitly throw an exception, because the signature for the methods of the 
listener does not include any throws.

If this is imposed by the servlet API standard, could Tomcat allow some tricky 
API that notes an error in a listener?
