Question

I am using jetty server to receive calls from http clients.

I am using BufferedWriter object to write a log file for debugging.

The server is always running in order to receive calls.

How can i tell the program to only close the stream (log_file.close) when the server stops?

I am not supposed to stop the server, but before the program terminates (when i touch the terminate button for example) how can i close the stream file in that point?

Answer 1

If your code is running inside a web application (aka war) you can (and it’s actually a best practice) to implement ServletContextListener and register it in your web.xml.

In contextInitialized you can make the necessary init operations.

In contextDestroyed you can close the stream.
