I am studying Spring framework, in web.xml I added following which is a bootstrap listener. Can anyone give me a proper idea of what is a bootstrap listener?
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
You can see the doc here: ContextLoadListener
Bootstrap listener to start up and shut down Spring's root WebApplicationContext. Simply delegates to
ContextLoader
as well as toContextCleanupListener
.This listener should be registered after
Log4jConfigListener
in web.xml, if the latter is used.As of Spring 3.1,
ContextLoaderListener
supports injecting the root web application context via theContextLoaderListener(WebApplicationContext)
constructor, allowing for programmatic configuration in Servlet 3.0+ environments. See WebApplicationInitializer for usage examples...
