What class loads GeoServer?

It can be a bit tricky to figure out where GeoServer actually starts. It does so in org.vfny.geoserver.global.GeoServerPlugIn It is started by Struts, and it gets the load location from GeoserverDataDir, and then calls org.vfny.geoserver.global.xml.XMLConfigReader

i find the method init of class GeoServerPlugIn is almost delete by jd,and the class Geoserver could be loaded without it so i want to know why it happen can somebody explain it for me  Posted by guiguzi at Aug 07, 2007 21:45
