Hi,
I want to load a class in the memory when the tomcat server starts.
Basically this class has some static data which I want the application to
use. I want to keep the data at application level.

Hi :-)
- in Servlet spec2.3, there is a new feature about application lifecycle
events: ServletContextListener interface, please see the following link:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2001/jw-0126-servletapi_p.html
- now I don't know which CL(classloader) will load a class which implements
ServletContextListener, so I think it is context level, but I am not sure
if it
is container level(cross several-contexts in the same container).
- I have a question:
where can I put this listener-class?
in WEB-INF/classes? or wrap it in a jar file and put the jar file in
WEB-INF/lib?
can I put it in TOMCAT_HOME/lib(loaded by ShareCL)
- there is also another new feature in Servlet spec2.3: HttpSessionListener
