Hi, Thanks for ur info.. we are able to run the class at startup. We changed the org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat class to start our class. But your idea is more intelligent. We shall try with that. One more help needed - want to know how we can achieve support of java transaction service in tomcat. I know tomcat is only a servlet engine, but still if there are any add-ons which will gives us support for java transaction service, it will be great.

Hi Sudheshna That's easy. Just use a servlet which gets startet on tomcats startup. In it's init() just start your Runnable. The doXXX() methods are empty, as this servlet will never be called.
