How do I handle failure in contextInitialized()?

[mers <ef...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a class that implements ServletContextListener. When I receive a
contextInitialized() call, I need to load some data from a database and add
it to the application scope for subsequent use by various servlets and
pages.

There is a chance that the database request made in contextInitialized()
either fails to connect to the database or does not find the relevant data.
If that's the case, I'd like the context to not load, preferably gracefully,
but ungracefully if need be.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Emerson

If you throw an exception application will not be available.
