Re: load a servlet or jsp at Tomcat startup

[Mark Mynsted]

Thank you.  I will give it a try.

BTW, where did you find this documented?  Now that I know what to look for, the only 
place I found this information was in the Java Servlet Specification.  I guess I may 
use any of the elements defined in the web application deployment descriptor inside my 
web.xml?

Sincerely yours;

You have to update the web.xml file like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-app (View Source for full doctype...)>
   - <web-app>
   - <!--
    Database Initialization Servlet Configuration
     -->
     - <servlet>
         <servlet-name>DatabaseServlet</servlet-name>  Name of your servlet
         <servlet-class>lds.gui.dataconnectivity.DatabaseServlet</
       servlet-class> path to your servlet
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> position of startup
     </servlet>
     - <servlet>
         <servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
         <servlet-class>lds.servlets.Login</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
   - <!--
    Action Servlet Mapping
     -->
     - <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/Login</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

Is there not a way to define a servlet or jsp in ../conf/server.xml to load
a start up of Tomcat?  I can not find this in the documentation.
