Thanks for your help. What I want to do is to build a connection pool in the
init method of the resultant servlet of a jsp. The connection pool should be
initalized when the jsp's resultant servlet is first called and stay alive
independent of the instance. I am usingTomcat with JASPER as servlet engine. A
JSP's the init() method is generated by JASPER as _jspx_init(). I can not
overwrite it. Anyway to workaround?

Thanks.
