You need to do something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ApplicationStartup</servlet-name>
<display-name>StartUp Servlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>a.startup.ApplicationStartup</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ApplicationStartup</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/startup</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This tells tomcat to run that servlet when Tomcat first intialises the
context. You can put all your initialisation stuff there I guess.

Subject: Instantiating an Application Scoped Bean
Hi,
I need some help on the following scenario:
As soon as I start my tomcat server, I need to populate an
application-scoped bean which will have values from the database.
Thereafter I should be able to access the bean across all JSP pages using
the <jsp:useBean "..." ...scope="application"/> tag.
It'll be great if you guys can tell me how to initialize this bean at server
startup. Any specific web.xml entry to be recorded to map to the servlet
which does the DB operation?
Thanks!
