strange problem with starting up servlets on tomcat

[matt dilley <ma...@coins.net>]

Hi guys,

I have a strange  problem that only seems to happen with tomcat
v.4.1.12, and due to the strange behaviour of this, I can't quite
describe the full clues to the reasons behind it - can anyone tell me if
you are also experiencing the same or similar problems?

Description:
I have a web.xml file in the webapps/WEB-INF directory of an
application.
Inside that web.xml file are 4 servlets, with load-on-startup values of
10,20,21 and 25 respectively.

each of these servlets extend HttpServlet, and have the necessary
init(), doGet() and doPost() methods contained withing then. (debug log
statements also being featured all the way through each of these
servlets)
However, one of these servlets does not get started - I come to that
conclusion since there are no debug statements being produced for that
servlet.

I know I'm not helping much with the lack of included information on the
servlets themselves, but the strange thing with  this is that there is
no difference in structure between that problem servlet and the others.
This is why it's so difficult to pin-point the problem here.

Maybe someone could throw in some pointers - maybe there is an issue
with load-on-startup values, or maybe the amount of servlets allowed to
run at startup.


can anybody help me with this?

if you wish, I could include an example snippet of the problem servlet
code - will that be of use?

regards

Matt Dilley
