Life-cycle events for services hosted by CXFServlet

[huntc <hu...@mac.com>]

Hi there,

I was wondering if any life-cycle events are available/applicable to a CXF
service hosted by the CXFServlet?

My service allocates some resources and I was thinking that it would be tidy
to explicitly release those resources if the service was somehow stopped.

Is it possible for a service to become stopped once started? If so then how
would I go about intercepting such events?

Kind regards,
Christopher

I would stop trying to think as web services as something that you
independently turn on or off, but of the corresponding *servlet* that hosts
them that you turn on and off (say, from the Tomcat manager web app or your
other servlet container's admin console).  In that sense, a web service is
no different from a web application.

So, no, your web service will never become "dormant", so long as the servlet
hosting it is continually running.

Hi Glen,

Thank you very much for your reply.

In the normal course of events, if using CXFServlet, is it normal for
services to become dormant or do they remain active post-instantiation?

Kind regards,
Christopher

You can probably just subclass CXFServlet--it has the standard HttpServlet's
destroy() and Spring's onApplicationEvent() methods that can be of use for
you:

HTH,
