Class ContextLoaderListener

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventListener, ServletContextListener

public class ContextLoaderListener

extends Object

implements ServletContextListener

Bootstrap listener to start up Spring's root WebApplicationContext. Simply delegates to ContextLoader.

This listener should be registered after Log4jConfigListener in web.xml, if the latter is used.

For Servlet 2.2 containers and Servlet 2.3 ones that do not initalize listeners before servlets, use ContextLoaderServlet. See the latter's Javadoc for details.
