In your web.xml file, you can specify to load a servlet on statup:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
    </servlet-class>

    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Put your code for reading the file in the init() method of that servlet.
