Startup class is run before web services are deployed

Question

Hello, I need to run a class at server start-up which uses web services deployed on the same Weblogic server.
I'm using Weblogic startup class, which fires after the server is up and all modules have been deployed.
However, it is fired before web services are deployed, so this solution doesn't work.
Is there a way to have a class that is run by Weblogic after web services are deployed?
Right now I'm using a timer that polls the server till the services are up and running, but I hope there's a cleaner way.
thanx,
Mike

Thanx for response.
Looking at the logs, the following came to light.
1. My app does get deployed last, but the ServletContextListener in my app is fired after all modules "...transitioned from STATE_PREPARED to STATE_ADMIN".
It took a few more seconds for all modules to transition "from STATE_ADMIN to STATE_ACTIVE".
2. After all modules transitioned to STATE_ACTIVE, the log shows this:
<Channel "DefaultSecure" is now listening on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 for protocols iiops, t3s, ldaps, https.>
I assume that only at this point are web services accessible. The error that I get when trying to invoke a web service from ServletContextListener is:
java.net.ConnectException: Tried all: 1 addresses, but could not connect over HTTPS to server: RLOCVGVY91 port: 443
     at weblogic.net.http.HttpsClient.openServer(HttpsClient.java:289)
So I dunno... If my ServletContextListener waits for 10 seconds, everything works.
