Annie, Write a servlet with an init() method that initializes Torque, and specify that this servlet should load at startup in your web.xml file. Perhaps you could turn your existing DataModel class into a servlet for this purpose. See the ActionServlet stuff in web.xml for how to make a servlet load at startup (give your servlet a lower number than ActionServlet to make yours load first).

HI, I'm using struts & torque together. I put some initialize code in one of my class as a static code. But these code is not executed until class DataModel is lodaded. So, if I call any function of Torque, it will report that "Torque is not initialized". Where can I put some global initialize code for the application ? Thanks.
