The recommended procedure for this in Orion is to create an
application-client (j2ee, with META-INF/application-client.xml etc) that
performs the task. You then set auto-start="true" on the <client-module> tag
in orion-application.xml and specify a valid user="" attribute value to run
it as in order to invoke it at server startup. We feel this procedure is the
best since it uses minimum "proprietary" technologies and is the most
portable. You will have a problem if using <resource-ref>/<ejb-ref> when
using the values you bind to the context though since the values need to be
present before the app-client is run, but for global vars/bindings it will
work fine.
