However, I am unsure (the spec is = ambigious) on when the Servlet container is supposed to start servicing inc= oming requests. I have a Servlet that has a load-on-startup setting of 2 and this initiali= zes some application settings. Granted, the best avenue for this is a List= ener.... I'm wondering if Tomcat will service HTTP requests before or afte= r the any load-on-startup Servlets are loaded. Specically Tomcat 5.5.28 to= 5.5.31. --_000_08E52FD684EEF24885F63B0C17A362F4574D4DE6aafryex10frycom_--
