Or you could add a life cycle listener that ran all your initialization stuff when your app started. The servlet initialization method will execute for every context that you have defined. That may or may not be the behavior you want.

April 2002 16:13 An: 'Tomcat Users List' Betreff: Application init Hello, I have following problem : I have web-application consisting of several JSP, servlets, xml and xsl files. I'm using LOG4J for logging and JDBC driver for acessing database. In order to my application work properly, I need to call start-up code (which set-up LOG4J and build connection pool) before any JSP page or servlet is opened. I don't know how to do this if I don't want to test this in the top of every page / servlet. Is there any easy solution how achieve this? -Jan --- Odchozí zpráva neobsahuje viry.
