If the value is a negative integer, or the element is not present, the container is free to load the servlet whenever it chooses.
Thanks, i just skipped that, my mistake.
ok, let me summarizes it once again,
for 0 or greater than 0, the container will load the servlet when the server gets started and when the element tag is not present or for negative integers, the container will only load the servlet when the 1st request comes to it and not during server startup., am i right ???
