Handler initialisation as part of server start-up?

["S.E.Parkin" <S....@newcastle.ac.uk>]

Hi,

With the help of this mailing list I've found out how to reduce the need to 
re-initialise resources within SOAP Handlers upon each use, such that a 
Handler need only be initialised once, upon first use (by way of the init() 
method). However, I was wondering if there was a means of initialising 
Handlers as part of the host server (e.g. Tomcat) start-up routine, so that a 
Handler is already initialised *before* it's first use?


Thanks,
Simon Parkin

it might be useful to look at implementing ServletContextListener in
order to capture the startup of your context.
