You can specify a servlet to load when JavaWebServer loads.
1. Go to the admin tool.
2. Double click on 'Web Service'
3. Click on 'Servlets' button
4. Click on 'Add'
5. Enter a name and the fully qualified class name of the servlet
6. Click on the 'Add' button
7. The servlet should be added to the tree. Click on it.
8. You should now see a panel with 2 tabs, configuration and properties
9. Find the Load at Startup radio button and select 'Yes'.
All done.
Typically what some people do is to specify one servlet that loads at
startup. This servlet instantiates beans or sets variables (eg a pool of db
connections) and then stores them in the servlet context.
When other servlets run, they get the required 'global' resource(s) from the
servlet context.
You may want to search the archives regarding this issue. Smarter people
than me have given better explanations of the design patterns required for
this.
