We have seen how to write servlets. How about writing a context listener for the same? This will come in handy if you want to integrate with frameworks that use context listeners for initialization.

servlet-context-listenermodule in theatlassian-plugin.xml.<servlet-context-listener name="Test Servlet Listener" key="jtricksServletListener" class="com.jtricks.JTricksServletListener"> <description>Listener for Test Servlet</description> </servlet-context-listener>
Here, we have a unique module key and a class that is the servlet context listener's Java class.
Write the servlet context listener's class. The class must
javax.servlet.ServletContextListener:public class JTricksServletListener implements ServletContextListener{ ... }Implement the context listener methods as appropriate...
