i assume a workaround for the global.asa functionality would be for all the .jsp's
in a certain application to call a particular servlet.
in that servlet, just the init method would be written with any code of importance,
which would set up initialization variables and run init methods. that would take
care of
applicationOnStart()
i assume some similar concepts could be easily done for the other .asa methods??
