Initialize a common library at startup

[areznik]

Hi, guys and girls, Tomcat gurus and such!!

I have a very important question to ask all:

I would like to initialize a common library when the Tomcat starts up, so i have a method in my CommonLibrary.java that needs to be called only once.
How do i do this in Tomcat, (4.1.12) and where do i put this class?

Muchas Gracias in advance,

Alex

nevermind, i solved it
if anyone interested, couple of ways to do that,
1. specify a servlet in the conf/web.xml and give it a load on startup 1

2. do the same in your context's web-inf/web.xml file
