[Digester] loading configuration in a J2EE application

[Naresh Bhatia]

I would like to use Digester to load configuration information when my
J2EE application is deployed. The application contains bunch of EJBs and
a webapp. Everything is deployed using an ear file. Where and how should
I load my configuration? Ideally I want to load it before any of the
application comonent starts executing. I also want to avoid using app
server specific solutions of possible.

Thanks.
