Sorry for jumping in late... I wasn't paying attention when this thread got
started, but...
Are you talking about a _servlet_ that is loaded via the '<load-on-startup>'
element in a web.xml? Or, are you talking about an _object_ that is loaded
on startup -- an object that implements T3StartupDef in Weblogic, for
example. Or, something else?
Also, just for the record, what version of JBoss & Tomcat are you using?
