RE: Initializer servlet?
The 2.3 Servlet API has Lifecyle Events. You just have to use the listener 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.

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?

Re: Initializer servlet?
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.

RE: Initializer servlet?
Specify it in the load-on-startup tag in web.xml (not sure about the exact tag syntax).

RE: Initializer Servlet?
Also, make sure the number in the load-on-startup2/load-on-startup tag is lower than the Action Servlet so it loads first...
