Howard, look at javax.servlet.ServletContextListener. It is a bootstrap class for servlet containers. If you wanted to use servlets you could override ActionServlet.init() or create your own bootstrap servlet or use Struts plug ins.
I use ServletContextListener because it is a standard way for bootstrapping web applications and init parameters can be defined in web.xml. robert > -----Original Message----- > From: Howard Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 9:51 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Initialisation > > > Errr... stupid newbie question coming up. > > If I want to create objects in the Application Scope the design notes for > Struts says....
