[Mono-devel-list] xsp webservice initialization on startup

[chicago5 at gmx.de]

hello,
i can't post from my other email account. there is one email from me to be
moderated (because i sent an 81kb log file) and now i can't post any email
to the list at all through my other email account. 

anyway, here is what i originally wanted to say + ask (many thanks in
advance):
---
hello,

please ignore my unknowledge in this field, but is there a way to initialize
my webservice (written in an .asmx file) upon xsp startup?

My books i have available don't tell me if it's possible or not and the web
is not very clean on this topic.

my constructor is called once, but only as soon as a client accesses the
service - i need to start some other stuff ...

am i doing things right or should i use another approach (i.e. an exe with
implements web service methods)? what do i need to add to call something as
soon as the server starts?

many thanks in advance!
Mono is an outstanding package - especially in conjunction with soap+java!
best regards,
ulrich
