Actually I asked the question. Problem is I don't want the filter to be loaded first. I'm trying to implement a webapp-wide connection pool to mysql as documented in "Java Servlet's Developper's guide". I have a class 'ConnectionServlet' that is creates and initializes the connection pool. The webapp has a login filter that needs a connection from the connection pool. The webapp loads the login filter first. I don't really want to remove the filter because its integral to the application's design. Is there another solution, to getting the connection pool instantiated before the filter?

Yup, clear as day, thanks. I figured you'd have looked at the spec before posting and then answering your own question?! ;) Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
