I would like to load java class file that contain db related function. How can I load that java file while starting the tomcat server
you can use servlet for that as below, define into web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>YourServletName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.abc.xyz.YourServletClassName</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
in YourServletClassName.java file you can write your code.
Hope it helps you.
