Preloading java classes/libraries at jar startup?

by

You could run a load before the server becomes live. You haven’t specified how you’re loading the server, the classes, and what the environment is, but you can take advantage of the fact that a class static initializer will run when the class is loaded. So, if you’re running from a “main” method, your class could look something like this

public class Foo {

   static {
     //this will be run when the class is loaded
     try { Class.forName("fully.qualified.class.name.that.i.want.to.Load"); }
     catch ...
   }

   public static void main (string args[])
   {
    //run my server...
   }
}
