Duplicate instance of Bayeux Server created

Question

I'm having a problem with my CometD Application. It looks like its creating multiple instances of the Bayeux Server. My configuration Files look like the following and i'm using Web Sockets as Transport/GigaSpaces to deploy the Application (which uses its own embedded jetty Server). Just wondering if I've misconfigured something in the following setup?

WEB.XML:

Answer 1

You are indeed creating two instances of BayeuxServer, one created by the CometdServlet you define in web.xml and one created by Spring.

Like stated in the CometD and Spring integration documentation, if you use Spring to initialize CometD, then your whole BayeuxServer configuration must be in Spring. Don't duplicate it in web.xml.

Furthermore, since you define a <load-on-startup> element, the CometdServlet is initialized before Spring's ContextLoaderListener, creating a BayeuxServer instance before Spring gets the chance to create its own and export it.

Remove all <init-param> from web.xml, remove <load-on-startup> and you should be good: the servlet will be lazily initialized and will find the Spring-created BayeuxServer exported correctly, without creating an additional instance.
