Init on startup (Servlet or EJB)

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
