Dear Leon, Thanks for the info, I am reading about Contexts, but I am not sure if they are created as soon as tomcat starts. This listener seems to be event based, as long as an event is auto generated after Tomcat has started, it would work, or if there is another mechanism that can be used to generate the event that is automatic and that does not require a request from the client, I think it might work.

I think what you need is a ContextListener. With it, you will be notified when the context (webapp) starts and can perform initialization, and when the context is destroyed you can perform de-initialization (stop your threads, cleanup ressources and such). regards Leon On 1/15/07, Luis Rivera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to know how could I jump start my web service in tomcat before > any call from the client is made.
