As a botch you could have a class that contains static data structures to hold
your initialization data as well as a boolean that would hold whether it had
been initialized.
It might be better if the initialising bit were sychronised.
That way if you wanted to read say a properties file only once you could do fill
the static properties structure the first time the class was instantiated and
subsequent times the class was instantiated the properties data would still be
in memory so no need to read it in again.
However you would want to be careful writing to this structure unless it was
guarded to prevent interference and in locking your resources you had considered
the possibility of deadlock.

Hi all,
I want to write a web service that has to be initialized and configured
before doing its actual job.
If we write the initialization code in the same method, it will end up
doing the same stuff for each and every request.
Is there anything that we can do to avoid this and do the initialization
and configuration only for the first request????
Is there anything like init() method of Servlet with which we can
initialize the webservice on the first request ???
Please help.
Thanks in Advance
