Hi Arthur,
You can implement a custom ServletContextListener and register it in your
web.xml. I use the ServletContextListener to place a DataSource in a
ServletContext, but I see no reason for why you couldn't use it to start
pre-fetching some data:
<listener>
<listener-class>com.brunata.webmon.ws.db.DBPoolingListener</listener-class>
</listener>
