ok. long story short: my web sites is formed of chunks of html-frames ...all these frames have content from a database. So to shorten page loading time, I used a cache system(Ehcache ....similar to OSCache for those who heard/used cache before). So I have a servlet that fills the cache, and the index.html loads the frames from cache). Problem is....when the server is restarted or stoped, the cache is emptyed and after restart I have to re-call the servlet that fills it. It would be perfect if every time I restart tomcat this servlet to be called autmatically. In case ur wondering why I used a servlet to fill the cache is because I need some variables like request.getContenxtPath, getRealPath() etc.
hope you understood why I need to do this. A really big thanks to the people that answered so far.

What exactly are you planning to achieve by doing such a thing? Wade ----- Original Message ---- From: loredana loredana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Monday, November 5, 2007 3:32:01 AM Subject: running! a servlet at tomcat startup This issue is a classic one already I think. I've googled it and haven't found anything that could help solving this problem. I'm probably not the one to think about this but...if you would add the <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> to a servlet, and from the init() method you would somehow try to call the doGet() method, wouldn't that do it? wouldn't that run the servlet at startup? did anybody try this already? I am trying to do this but I'm having some problem creating HttpServletRequest and Response objects so I can call doGet(). So if anyone did this already, pls let me know how this issue can be fixed! 10x a lot! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
