The details of how to do this depend on which web server + servlet engine
combination you are using. For example, with Apache JServ, there is a
"servlets.startup" parameter in the zone properties file to define the
servlets that should be loaded at startup time for this zone (which is pretty
much equivalent to a servlet context).
Some environments don't support this setting (such as the servlet engine in
JSWDK 1.0). I've worked around this by modifying my "startserver" command to
include an execution of the "lynx" character mode browser, asking for the URL
of my startup servlet. This has the effect of loading the initialization
servlet for me as soon as the servlet engine has been started. If you don't
have lynx available, the Java Language Tutorial
(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial) has a simple example program that
uses a URLConnection to read from a URL, which accomplishes exactly the same
thing.
