Use <load-on-startup> element inside the <servlet> element in your web.xml.
You'll find precisely how to use it in in the servlet spec :-) Basically something like: <servlet> <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.foo.MyServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> If you have multiple servlets that have to be loaded on startup, you can set their startup order using increasing numbers as the load-on-startup element content. -- Attila Szegedi home: http://www.szegedi.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Diakovasilis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2002. m�rcius 11. 17:14 Subject: Initializing servlet on service startup Hi, Anybody know how you would have tomcat initialize a servlet (call it's init() method) at startup. I have it as an nt service and would like the servlet to be initialized at service start and not when the first request comes in. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
