Werner,
yes like suggested use the ServletContextListener.
However, you are not allowed to extend the FacesServlet, since it is marked (in Spec) as "final".
I know, MyFaces does not, but I think that is related to Weblogic and that MyFacesServlet (which extends FacesServlet) (see [1])

Ok this is not directly myfaces related, but since I dont know where to ask exactly, I think this place is good enough.
I have a small problem, I have a managed bean with an application scope. This bean should be initialized during the startup of the webapp. I dont see any standardized way to do this, since the bean seems to be initialized first at the first referencing call from the JSF code. (the bean has application scope)
I figured it out, that overriding the standard JSF servlet could to the trick, but I dont really want to do that. Does anybody know if there is another way to have the bean initialized during application startup?
