Init startup code for EJBs

I have a J2EE application, with a bootstrap servlet (that initializes some properties etc). The servlet is set to init on startup. It works fine.

Now, I have another J2EE application that also requires some initialization, but does not really need a web component. I could of course use the servlet architecture, simply to do the bootstrapping, but that seems to be a waste. Is there a corresponding thing in the EJB layer itself?

Specifically, is there a init on startup feature available on the EJB layer?

Thanks,
Rich
