servlet load on start init

public class UploadSSL extends HttpServlet
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    Password loginPassword = null;

    public void init( ServletConfig config ) throws ServletException
    {
        super.init( config );
        loginPassword = new Password( 8 );
        System.out.println( loginPassword.get() );
    }



Double click on web.xml, expand "servlet", right click and choose "Add Child" -> load-on-startup


Now the servlet will load immediately (in tomcat at least) and your console out (catalina.out log) will show the password
