Something I do often is create a servlet that is loaded at app startup that loads and populates a variety of objects that I need for general use in its init method.
If I can't guarantee that users will always use a single point of entry (never the case in a content-heavy site), I avoid depending on a single action to do app-wide heavy lifting. For whatever that's worth - probably a "worst practice"...
