Hi J�rg --
I'm using the servlet context initialization hooks (see the servlet
spec) to get a number of services initialized before the first request.
Works great.
You can to add entries of the form:
<listener>
<listener-class>
com.alepsis.mfg.ft.webapps.InitializationManager
</listener-class>
</listener>
to the web.xml file, where the specified class implements
javax.servlet.ServletContextListener. Then the servlet engine
will call your listener when the context is being set up, and just
before it's destroyed.
