Is jspInit() method of a JSP equivalent of the init(ServletConfig) method of a servlet? Does is execute only once when the JSP is initialized? I want to initialize a database connection pooling in my JSPs and wondering if this is a good place to do this. Thx. Ulvi.
The jspInit() method is on the JspPage interface that must be implemented by servlet classes generated from JSP pages. These servlet classes are automatcically generated by the JSP Compiler on the Application Server so (AFAIK) you don't really have much controller over what gets placed in this method. It sounds like you are trying to put too much logic and code into the JSP page. I would probably use another method to create you connection pool, maybe a servlet that is loaded on startup that then invokes a method on a class in the business tier that actually creates and manages the connection pool.
