Does Axis or Apache httpd provide a facility for starting or

service is designed to read configuration files and create database
connection pools when the web service is called the first time. The
problem with this approach is the first user to call the web service
experiences an additional delay caused by this one-time
initialization. I remember the iPlanet web server had a feature for
initializing java servlets when the web server started. I hope a
similar feature exists with Apache httpd or Axis. Thanks.

AFAIK, we do not have the facility to initialize the Web Service at
start up of Apache. The only workaround would be to invoke a dummy
client to get the init done.
However this is an interesting suggestion to init the service at
startup, may be not all, but may be we could provide an option to do so
for those required services.
