No, load-on-startup (or ServletContextListener even) is used to do
bootstrapping work that should happen before the first request **to the
webapp**, but not necessarily the whole web server.

Thanks for the nod. Yes, development configurations is why I'm asking.
Once (If) this is implemented, it would be appropriate to have the examples
webapps that ship with Resin to have this setting enabled so Resin won't
waste any time loading (nor logs to log()) for these examples if they are
never accessed while Resin is loaded.

Doesn't anyone else think this is a great idea? It is so needed on my
machine.
