RE: Initializer Servlet?

[Mattos, John]

Also, make sure the number in the 2 tag
is lower than the Action Servlet so it loads first...

Specify it in the  tag in web.xml (not sure about the exact
tag syntax).

I've seen a few posts about initializer servlets that basically does
whatever setup/housekeeping work needs to be done for the application.
How do you guarantee that this servlet will run before anything
else?  Is this something you can define within your servlet container?
If so, does anyone know how you'd do this with Tomcat?

Thanks,

In the web.xml file, you can give each servlet a loading order.  Just make 
sure your initilizing servlet has a lower number than the struts action 
servlet.

The 2.3 Servlet API has "Lifecyle Events".  You just have to use the
 tag in your web.xml to specify a class that implements the
ServletContextListener interface.  There is an explanation at

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Servlets/servl
etapi2.3/

under the "Lifecyle Events" section.  I've use this a few times in
Tomcat 4 with no problems.
