How to get initialized at startup
I'm pretty new to Struts2.
I have some code I need to initialize when the servlet comes up for the
first time. How do I do that when I'm using struts and I do not have my own
servlet? Do I create a servlet just for this purpose?
Thanks
Brian

If you need something that is initialized when your webapp starts, I would
suggest to write a ContextListener. For more information look at:
http://wiki.metawerx.net/wiki/ContextListener
Btw, in Struts 2 you do not use servlets but Actions.

I did what Sartini suggested. I implemented the ServletContextListener
interface and added it as a listener to my application. I use it to create
and take down some database connections that I need for my application. It
works really well.

I am writing my own servlet for this as I didn't found anything.
As I feel I have more control on that.
post it if you got solution for this one.
