Hi, I assume you are using Tomcat4.1.x Have u written the init(ServletConfig) method,. Load on Startup executes the init(...) method only. If there is no init(..) method you can not see any print statements or any other operations executed, In Tomcat4.1.18 only you can see the print statement printed to console in init() method. Try creating a sample file in the init() method.
Please make sure that existance of the init() method. Hope this answers your problem.
