Hi David I think what I need is descrived for you “If you need some code to execute before your actual apps start you could write a gbean to execute the code and deploy it in a plugin that depends on the tomcat plugin. If your apps depend on this service plugin it is sure to get started before the apps.” I would just get the code out of the servlet and put on a gbean , what I would need is a example of the gbean implementation and deployment if there is one available.
