Sure, there are few possibilities. One is to make a ServletContextListener, with this you can start up what ever class you like when the application starts. Another one is to make servlet and have its load-on-startup parameter set in web.xml
For example if I have a servletcontextListener called ContextAttributeListener I would define it like this in web.xml for my application. <listener> <listener-class>com.firm.listeners.ContextAttributeListener</listener-class> </listener> This class can then do what ever you like. Servlet would be defined like this : <servlet> <servlet-name>startup_servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.something.project.startup_servlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>someconfigpath</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/conf/something.properties</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> And as the load-on-startup param is set to 1 it will be the first servlet to be loaded in the startup line.
