Why and when to perform this task
By default, the WebSphere Application Server's Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Container delays the initialization (loading and processing) of most EJB types until they are needed during runtime. This helps to speed up the application start time.
EJB types can, however, be forced to initialize at application start time by setting a flag within the bean's deployment descriptor. If this flag is set to true then the bean is initialized at application start time.
