In your web.xml file, declare a servlet like this : 

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>xx.xx.xx.myServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>


And in your servlet, the init() method is called when the server start : 


import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;


public class myServletextends HttpServlet
{
  /** Init */
  public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
  {
    super.init(config);
    // do your action
  }

  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
throws ServletException, IOException
  {
   // ...
  }

}

Hi!

I'm writing a web application for tomcat and I have a strange request:
I would like to execute an initializing function in order to
initialize correctly my applicaiton when it becomes available
(deployed into tomcat or tomcat itself is started)

I have written such behaviour in a method, so what can I do to execute it?

Thanks for your help, Matteo
