hi
Can anyone tell me how I can start a servlet when weblogic5.1 starts ? I want to know configuration in the weblogic properties file b'cos i could not get proper description from weblogic readme file.

thanks in advance

1. register the servlet

2. then run init() at startup:
weblogic.system.utils.StartMyServlet=\weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletStartup
weblogic.system.startupArgs.StartMyServlet=\servlet=MyServlet

From the Weblogic Servlet Developer Guide:

weblogic.system.startupClass.StartMyServlet=\
  weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletStartup weblogic.system.startupArgs.StartMyServlet=\
  servlet=MyServlet

thanks for ur reply but i am getting some error message

i registered the startup servlet named VServlet(no package)
like this

weblogic.httpd.register.VServlet=VServlet
weblogic.system.startupClass.VServlet=weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletStartup
weblogic.system.startupArgs.VServlet=servlet=VServlet

its class file is in servletclasses and i am using evaluation version of weblogic5.1.

when i started the server i got the following message

Invoking T3StartupDef VServlet weblogic.ser
vlet.utils.ServletStartup with {servlet=VServlet}
Mon Mar 20 11:55:48 GMT+05:30 2000:<I> <WebLogicServer> T3StartupDef VServlet weblogic.servlet.util
s.ServletStartup reports:servlet: VServlet not found

I am able to run this servlet from browser but not on startup.
is there any other settings required

Try this:

weblogic.httpd.register.VServlet=VServlet
weblogic.system.startupClass.StartVServlet=weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletStartup
weblogic.system.startupArgs.StartVServlet=servlet=VServlet
