DispatcherServlet vs ContextLoaderListener?

[selvapa]

Dear All,

In spring mvc,i have defined in web.xml DispatcherServlet and ContextLoaderListener.


<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/xxxxxxx-servlet.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>


----------------------------------

<servlet>
<servlet-name>xxxxxxx</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherSe rvlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

---------------------------------------
How many Instances are created during the start up in container (service,dao,handler)?

Please use code tags when posting code.

You have misconfigured your app. Your ContextLoaderListener must not load the servlet context, if you do this you will effectivly have 2 instances of everything.

Thanks..marten..

I have very basic question. I understood in third party frameworks(i.example : DWR,struts,JSF,etcccc) are defining in ContextLoaderListener only. But in spring MVC how to define in web.xml? Is it necessary to use both configurations? If i am doing both how can I avoid 2 instance creation in spring mvc?

Is it possible to configure third part framework (I.example : DWR,STRUTS,JSF…etcc)in dispatcher servlet file? i mean without ContextLoaderListener.

Thanks,
