PreLoading javabeans into memory on startup of websphere?

[xlr8tn]

I am looking to preload beans into memory for static data retrieved from a
database. My question is ... Since I would like to have the startup process
of the server invoke a program to do this, can I execute a servlet from a
prompt or is this only valid when coming through a web page? If I can't,
then all I really need is a java program that reads in a parm and puts the
beans in memory. How do I execute a java .class file from DOS?

Many servers have the capability of preloading a servlet. So why not just
preload a servlet whose only function is to load those beans? Executing a
class file from DOS is easy but not likely to be helpful, because it starts
a new JVM and runs the class in it. You want to run your class in the
server's JVM.
