Hello, If you are using Tomcat , you can create an InitializerServlet Class that extend HttpServlet , you override the init() method and put into a call to your business logic.
On the web.xml : <servlet> <servlet-name>TheInitializerServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>package.InitializerServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>100</load-on-startup> </servlet> So the servlet will be loaded at start up and , you business logic will be executed for the first time (so all classes needed will be loaded) , After, when you make the first request to your service it will not take the time of loading classes.
