Yes indeed, it sounds like the chicken and egg problem. But the fowl problem isn't unsolvable: First, there was a chicken like creature that lays the egg. Not a really surprising answer thinking about evolution, or? Let's go a step ahead: If the chicken and egg problem is solvable, why should the deployment bootstrap problem not be solvable? Ok, this line of argument may assailable.
But seriously, why do you secure your server-app? In my opinion you secure it against clients. Is the deployment of your server-app a server or a client operation? I would answer: "A server-sided operation". Furthermore, if I write the bootstrap and deploy it together with the server-application, shouldn't the container trust the code of the bootstrap if I do? Second thought: One very important feature of j2ee is the abstraction layer accessing databases. By this, you can really write a server application sql-aware and independent from database vendors. But why must I use a sql script and care about the differences between vendors when I initialize the database? Why can't I use consequently use the abstraction layer even when I initialize the database? Would you like buy a Porsche 911 without keys (if you had the money to buy one)? Would you really like to short-circuit you own 911? I don't! I would ask for the keys!
