Tomcat after Startup Event with spring

I have a function I want to execute straight after 开发者_C百科tomcat has started and loaded all its attributes successfully. I don't want to use ServletContextListener as this will require the function to start before tomcat starts. Can someone suggest how to go about this?

ServletContextListener.contextInitialized(..) is the method that is called after all servlets and filters have initialized for a given application.

• if there are multiple ServletContextListeners, some of them are called before the others (logically)
• if there are multiple applications (hence multiple contexts) some of them are started before others.

Update I will now assume your setup, although you didn't share it:

• you start spring via a listener (and not with a servlet)
• you configure hibernate within spring

In that case, you have two options:

• define your ServletContextListener after the one for spring in web.xml, thus guaranteeing it will be invoked after it
• use spring's lifecycle processor

You could create a startup servlet and then add that to the end of your web.xml:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>StartupServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.your.package.MyStartupServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>


public class MyStartupServlet extends HttpServlet {

    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        try {
             //  Startup code here
        } catch (Exception e){
            // Log exception
        }
    }

    public java.lang.String getServletInfo() {
        return "StartupServlet";
    }
}

I think JMX Tomcat supports can meet your requirement, even no ServletContextListener is deployed in container.
