Annotation Type WLServlet

@Target(value=java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface WLServlet

The WLServlet annotation is used to mark a Servlet class with necessary metadata so it can be deployed without being declared in the web.xml descriptor.

Example:

  @WLServlet (
    name="FOO",
    runAs = "SuperUser"
    initParams = { @WLInitParam (name="one", value="1") }
    mapping = {"/foo/*"}
  )
  public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet { . . . }
 

Annotating a Servlet class with the above annotation is equivalent to declaring the following in the web.xml descriptor:

  . . .
  <servlet>
     <servlet-name>FOO</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>MyServlet</servlet-class>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>one</param-name>
        <param-value>1</param-value>
     </init-param>
  </servlet>
  . . .
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>FOO</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/foo/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  . . .
