Ehhh,... you could, uh, load a non-servlet class from a servlet's init()
method,... I don't know of any other way, short of hacking the Tomcat

What does your non-servlet do that you want done at Tomcat's startup? Are
you sure it shouldn't be part of a servlet? (And if it isn't, why do you
want it done in Tomcat?)
