If you set your container to start a pool of servlets when it starts, =
the init
should be called then. I'm not sure how to set Tomcat to start up a pool =
of
"Keep alive" servlets. You'll have to consult the docs for that. The =
init is
called when the servlet is instantiated and should be called before =
requests are
made if the servlet is started before request arrive. I have done this =
with
other servlet containers.
