Listener Query

[Muks Sam]

Hi ranchers,

Until now I was only known of following code,

<web-app>
<listener-class>MyContextAttributeListener</listener-class>
</web-app>

but I got one more option which I have never seen, as below:

<web-app>
<display-name>My web application</display-name>
<listener>
<listener-class>MyContextAttributeListener</listener-class>
</listener>
</web-app>

Can somebody put some light on this Please? Is this what it could be??

Thanks

Muks

Until now I was only known of following code,

Where does it come from ? The listener-class a subtag of the listener tag, like in your second example. You can download the Servlets 2.4 specification from the SCWCD Links and check the "SRV.13.4 Deployment Descriptor Diagram" chapter.

Hi Chris,

Thanks again for the reply. Its the same mock test that showed me that with first choice it was wrong for them and with second choice it was right. I know that in DD it is not mandatory to have display-name while defining listener tag. But still according to them it was wrong. Anyways, Thanks again for link and reply.
