Class PlexusLoaderServlet

java.lang.Object
  javax.servlet.GenericServlet
      javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
          org.codehaus.plexus.servlet.PlexusLoaderServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class PlexusLoaderServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

PlexusLoaderServlet loads a Plexus DefaultPlexusContainer for a web application. The embedder is put into the ServletContext so PlexusServlets can retrieve it. It is important to make sure that this class is loaded before the startup of your web application that uses the Plexus Embedder. Alternatively, the servlet container can be loaded as a component within a Plexus manager. In that case, this class is no longer needed.

To configure this servlet you must specify the location of the plexus configuration file relative to the root of your webapplication. This must be passed as the "plexus-config" init-parameter to the servlet.
