I think ServletContextListeners get notified AFTER init() is called.. at
least it seems like so from the API:
void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce)
Notification that the web application is ready to process
requests.
therefore, by the time that contextInitialized is called.. a user may
already be in the web app. So if ur going to do code like set up db
connections or something.. it might be too late.

Subject: ServletContextListener vs init()
What are advantages of using ServletContextListener above init()? Don't they
do the same thing?
