Hi, Matt and Mavrikis,
Well, I tried to add the load-on-start like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>StartServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>manpower.servlets.StartServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
That didn't work. I tried <load-on-startup/> too. But it never calls
the servlet.
I'll look for Valves or Filters.
Thanks,
Jim.
