In my web.xml i can use the &lt;load-on-startup&gt; tag to load a servlet when the server starts.<br />
Is it correct to say that if I precompile my servlets then the load-on-startup tag has no influence ?<br />
Does load means precompile or is does it mean put the servlet in memory or what does it mean ?

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
