Where should I initialize/shutdown TreeCache?

[ottuzzi]

Hi there,

I'm using Treecache in a webApp and I would like to know where is the best place to initialize cache (at webApp startup) and shutdown it at webApp stop (stop/redeploy).

I placed initialization in a ServletContextListener.contextInitialized() and Treecache shutdown in ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed(): what do you think about this choice?

Can you see a better place to do these operations?

Thanks

What application server are you using?

This will work OK but if you're using JBoss, using a service deployment works better.

Hi there,

thanks for your interest :)
I'm using BEA Weblogic 8.1 with JDK1.4.2 on Solaris 9.

My fellow WebLogic-using developers use servlets as well to create and register MBeans etc. I don't particularly like that style of deployment. I guess using something like this:

is more work...
