[appengine-java] load-on-startup not working for a generic servlet

[Tahir Akram]

I want to initialize a generic servlet on load-on-startup = 1. I read
on GAE docs that this feature is supported but happen only when first
request comes, not prior to it. But its not working. I dont know
whether on local and production it has same behavior.

Will anyone please guide me if I can do that?

My Generic servlet code:

public class StartupServlet extends GenericServlet {
        public void service(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1)
                        throws ServletException, IOException {
                 String serverInfo = getServletContext().getServerInfo();
         if (serverInfo.contains("Development")) {
                 FFConstants.DEV_MODE = true;
         }else {
                 FFConstants.DEV_MODE = false;
         }
        }
}


Web.xml enteries

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>StartupServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.servlet.StartupServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>StartupServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/Startup</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
