Interesting. I was aware of the application scope option which is cool ... but not exactly what I was looking for. Running a servlet onStartup is an intriquing suggestion though. I didn't know you could do that....I think that's what I'm looking for! :)
Cool...I'm going to read more about it. Do you know the syntax of the top of your head for specifying an onStartup servlet in the web.xml file? Thanks for your help.

That way the first time you use it it will be initialized? Alternatively you can specify servlets that should be run on start-up in the web.xml if you want some kind of java daemon running.
