How to invoke a Servlet (doGet) in a web application on startup?
- by Dan
I need to invoke a Servlet on application startup since it contains some application initialization logic.
I know I can set load-on-startup configuration, but this will only invoke Servlet’s init method. I need to invoke a doGet method and pass some Url parameters to it.
Servlet doGet method expects ServletRequest and ServletResponse objects.
Also, since this is clustered application, I need to know exactly what node I am accessing (since one option is just to open a socket and invoke a Servlet).
What is the best option to perform this?
