Main method in tomcat?

You may be able to use vendor-specific settings in server.xml for Tomcat (check their site for details). If not, there may be a way to hook into the Tomcat Bootstrap startup class (see their site or Google for details). More generally, why are you trying to do this? The Servlet's init() event is guaranteed to fire at Servlet startup. Why do you need something to fire at container startup rather than the Servlet?
