Is there a means of executing code after the Apache Tomcat is up

[abhishek rathur]

i want to execute a piece of java code( such as notifying to some machine), after tomcat has successfully started..
i have used void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) but it will not work,i want to notify only after tomcat is started successfully..


thanks

In which way does using a servlet context listener not work? It sounds like the right tool for the job.

Did you register it in the web.xml? I am not sure this question is relevant to Spring, is there a Spring issue here?
