how do i add a custom startup class to tomcat?

I need to tweak some things inside Tomcat 6.0 before any web applications or listeners are started. What's the standard method for doing this? I can't do this from a web application or servlet init() since it is too late by the time it is loaded.

You could run "embedded Tomcat", in which you fully control its setup, much like how Jetty is usually used.

Google pointed to following docs:

which seem to cover this in Tomcat 5.5, but should work with 6 as well.

Creating a custom LifecycleListener is probably the right way of doing this. See the Tomcat configuration guide for more details; the lifecycle listeners can be added to most containers.
