Init is called when the chain containing this Handler object is instantiated.
I'm fairly certain the chain is not instantiated until the first request occurs (in fact i'm 99.99% sure)

Hi
I'm using a handler in Web Service written using Axis for session maintenance.
Inside the init function of this handler, i'm loading some classes as I want to load these classes at the time of start up of Tomcat..
After deploying the service, when I start Tomcat, init function of this handler is _NOT_ called
rather this is called when I try to invoke Axis Servlet by opening the url http://localhost:8080/services/servicename
in browser.
Should not the init function be called at start-up of Tomcat?
thanks,
