If you set your container to start a pool of servlets when it starts, the init should be called then. I'm not sure how to set Tomcat to start up a pool of "Keep alive" servlets. You'll have to consult the docs for that. The init is called when the servlet is instantiated and should be called before requests are made if the servlet is started before request arrive. I have done this with other servlet containers.
