Question

What is the use of <load-on-startup> in jsp or struts?

Answer 1

You can ask the page to be loaded when the server starts. This is done via the web.xml file

  &lt;servlet&gt;

    &lt;servlet-name&gt;login&lt;/servlet-name&gt;

    &lt;jsp-file&gt;/login.jsp&lt;/jsp-file&gt;

    &lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt;

  &lt;/servlet&gt;

Normally jsp file is compiles on first hit.

Now the code says precompile a jsp file without waiting for the first hit.
