Re: How to get initialized at startup

I am writing my own servlet for this as I didn't found anything.
As I feel I have more control on that.

I'm pretty new to Struts2.

I have some code I need to initialize when the servlet comes up for the
first time.  How do I do that when I'm using struts and I do not have my 
own

servlet?  Do I create a servlet just for this purpose?

Thanks
Brian

I did what Sartini suggested.  I implemented the ServletContextListener
interface and added it as a listener to my application.  I use it to create
and take down some database connections that I need for my application.  It
works really well.

If you need something that is initialized when your webapp starts, I would 
suggest to write a ContextListener. For more information look at:
http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/ContextListener

Btw, in Struts 2 you do not use servlets but Actions.
