Stick your code in the servlet's init() method

Subject: performing init operations in webapp


Hi

I am developing an web application (essentially axis, the web service
toolkit), which will be deployed in Tomcat.

Now before any client make a request to this web application, I want to
perform some *init* operations.

How can I do this?

thanks,
Naresh
