tomcat :: Listener for my own class (global access to class)

[devphylosoff]

hi

I have one servlet with init() method which initialize object of my
own class.

that's ok if I use this object from only one servlet.
but how change it - add Listener and have access to object from all
servlets.
moreover do not edit any of tomcat files, only project files.

thanks

Your init() places the object to application context, so it will be
available through application context to all other servlets needing it;
just take care that the servlet initializing this class is something
that it loaded on webapp startup (web.xml init-on-startup, if I recall
correctly).
