I’d like to execute some code only during first invocation of
controller - sort of a init method. The subsequent invocations do not
need to invoke this code.
How do I achieve it ?

Um, what is it you want to do? Each call to a given controller’s
action is in a brand new controller instance, so any initialize method
is useless.
If it’s one-time initialization of something, then you want
config.after_initialize in your environment.rb

I’m trying to port some Java EE Servlet code to Rails controller/
action and am trying to find out the best place for Servlet.init()
method.

Ah, can you provide some docs/examples of that ?

in config/initializers?

You can use the before_filter class method which will execute code
before any action is done in your controller. I’m not sure what you
mean by “first invocation of a controller” since as Jason pointed out
each call to a controller creates a new instance.
Can you explain more? (For details on the filters look here

So what do I define in config/initializers and how do I invoke it ?

Quoting A. [email protected]:
does not allow me to access it in the view.
How do I define my “public static final” constants here ?
Is it a class variable or an instance variable? If the former, just add
"GREETING = “this is it!” after the class statement and before any def
statements. If the latter, you need to describe more how it is used.
HTH,

Ok figured out that all *.rb files are read in config/initializers so
that is working. But
greeting = “this is it!”
or
@greeting = “this is it!”
does not allow me to access it in the view.
