Hi, You could try adding a ServletContextListener to the webapp and initialize the registry in contextInitialized. That should be called as soon as the webapp is loaded, and before any requests come in.

Maybe I'm being dumb (again), but here's what I want. I have a web services-based application. I need to get some configuration from a database loaded up BEFORE I receive my first web srevice request, since connecting to the database, fetching, loading, rejigging etc takes time I haven't got when I recieve my first web service call. Therefore I want my HiveMind service to init BEFORE the web server starts up, so that all my ducks are in a row before I start receiving calls. I have a main in my startup class that starts up the web server (Jetty). Creating the registry in this main method doesn't work, because the Jetty listener threads have no idea that the registry has been started (since I haven't received a request yet, I can't use HiveMindFilter). Here's a dump of the main chunk of my Main method... // eagerload my service by constructing registry Registry registry = RegistryBuilder.constructDefaultRegistry(); // my service has now been created and inited. Who-hoo... // now start jetty... Server server = new Server(); server.addWebApplication("/MyApp", "./context/"); server.setTrace(true); SocketListener listener = new SocketListener(); listener.setPort(8081); listener.setMinThreads(5); listener.setMaxThreads(250); server.addListener(listener); server.start(); // And we are ready to receive our first caller... Trouble is, the first web service request comes in, and the HiveMind registry gets reloaded into the first Listener thread that responds, along with all the initialisation I think I have already done. Thanks again for any insights.
