Bug ID: 56461
Summary: New option to make context startup fail if a
load-on-startup servlet fails
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.53
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: slaur...@apache.org

Patch for tomcat 8
Currently when a servlet with load-on-startup >=0 fails its startup, the
context startup is still considered as OK.
With some webapps (like spring-based ones with a DispatcherServlet), this makes
no sense at all : if the servlet failed its startup, the webapp is unuseable
and it would be more sensible to have tomcat mark the context as failed.
Such a behavior is not specified in JEE specs, so I propose to have a new
optional flag on Context and Host containers.
In the attached patch, the flag is named
failDeploymentIfServletLoadedOnStartupFails . If specified on Context, it
overrides the value potentially specified at the Host level.
The proposed patch for tomcat 8 passes checkstyle, provides a unit test and
updates documentation.
If it's OK with the patch, I'd also like to have it backported to tomcat 7.
