For standard web app, I use a context listener servlet to do initialization at startup. This also works in eclipse with GAE plugin, i.e. the context listener is called only once at startup. But, it does not work in production because the context listener servlet is called frequently. It seems GAE restarts the context or something that triggers the call to the listener servlet. SO, the question is: what's the right way to do one-time initialization (e.g. pre-load data) in GAE? Maybe GAE does not have the concept of initialization. Any suggestion is appreciated. -aj
