Hi Sandrine,
You have to change (or create if doesn't exist) the web.xml file that comes
in the WEB-INF directory.
The example below is the entire content of a web.xml file that loads the
ServletInit servlet and instantiate it (to the name defined by servlet-name)
on startup. The load-on-startup property must be different than 0 to have the
servlet loaded and instantiate at the startup of the app (when tomcat starts).
