You can use the Struts PlugIn mecanism too, but your init code may need some changes.

You dont need to subclass the action servlet just for the init code... Write u r own servlet(InitializationServlet)and put it in the init method of this servlet. When configuring the servlets in web.xml have somethign like this. <servlet> <servlet-name>InitializationServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>InitializationServlet</display-name> <servlet-class>com.urapp.InitializationServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> And for all other servlets , the load-on-startupvalue should be greater than 1.This ensures that when the servlets are initialized(Loaded), the initialization servlet is loaded first which means also the init method will be called before any requests are received. Additionally u can have any startup code called from the init method of this servlet. Hope this helps.

I'm converting an existing webapp to Struts. I have some code in a Servlet init() method, and I don't immediately see where I should put it. This is an authentication/authorization webapp, and the code in question sets up an authentication handler object to be used by every subsequent request. What's guaranteed to get executed before the Action code? (I'm almost thinking Filter, and to put the object in Application scope, but I'm not sure yet.)
