I have a servlet that is defined in web.xml as (load-on-startup)1(/load-on-startup), because I want to initialise some stuff while starting tomcat to conserve request time. In MyEclipse 2014 pro, when I start tomcat 8.0.3, it actually initialises that servlet. In fedora 17 x64 (from DigitalOcean.com) when I start tomcat using: "service tomcat start" it just starts the basic tomcat and it does not actually initialise that servlet. Is there a special command MyEclipse executes to handle that? What command do I have to enter in fedora so that it actuallyinitialises my web.xml while it starts tomcat?
Thank you
