The time it takes to start a servlet depend on following
factors:
- if it is run for the first time or has been changed
since it was run last it will be regenerated and
recompiled. Depending on size and conplexity this can
take some time.
- if it is the second call after a compilation it will
directly serve your response.
- AFAIK if it has been finalized by the servlet container
it will be reloaded and your init method will be called
again
To measure the time in your init() method just log some
timestamps like:
long mStart = System.currentTimeMillis();
log(mStart +
":" + getClass().getName() + ":" + hashCode() + ": started");
<some code/>
long mEnd = System.currentTimeMillis();
log(mEnd +
":" + getClass().getName() + ":" + hashCode() +": finished after " +
(mEnd - mStart) + " ms");
