There is a generic way to do this with web applications in the 2.2 servlet spec and even a better way in 2.3.
In 2.2, you can just have a servlet that calls your initializer in it's init() method. Then, in web.xml, define the load-on-startup element. That way, when your web app comes up, you get called. You can also call a clean-up class in the servlet's destroy() method. Now, in servlet 2.3, you can define a ServletContextListener (a servlet context is basically your web app) in the web.xml. You will get notified via the contextInitialized and contextDestroyed methods. Granted, each of these methods mean assumes you've got a web tier. Even if you don't, it's not a horrible thing to just through your ejb jars in an ear along with a tiny war who's only job is to initialize some stuff. Now, if you just wanted to now about startup/shutdown classes outside of your app and specific to jboss, I don't know.
