is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

Hi there, I'm currenttly using tomcat 5.x for running my webapps. Now I have the following problem: I'm using an database system which runs as webapplication inside tomcat. Another webapplication needs the database connection for startup. Everytime I restart tomcat the server doesn't get up,

Re: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

This question comes up every so often and the answer is always no. The webapp load order cannot be relied upon. In your case, might I suggest the database webapp be run on a separate instance of tomcat? Can the connection be done via TCP/IP? --David SOA Work wrote: Hi there, I'm

Re: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

A couple of other ideas: Use a small shared class (in shared/lib) to keep track of whether the database is running. The first webapp notifies this class when it's ready, and the second webapp checks if the database is ready before using it. Or, just accept that database errors will occur during

Re: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

One could envision a rather complex and somewhat funky solution to this... I'm not so sure I'd recommend it, but in the interest of creative thinking... (1) Add a context parameter isAppRunning to the webapp, initially set to false. (2) Create a filter that is mapped to handle all requests.

Re: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

I believe that the loading of webapps is based on the order of the webapp folders (or war files) coming into the purview of the tomcat webapp loader. This is mostly in the order the OS lists the files/folders within the webapps folder. I think you can experiment with changing the name of the

RE: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

It defines the order of servlet startup, if pre-loaded/pre-started at all, when the webapp actually starts. It does not affect the order in which the webapps themselves are loaded and/or started. Tim -Original Message- From: Eric Haszlakiewicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday,

Re: is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

As pointed out by another, load-on-startup only refers to servlets within a specific webapp. It does not have any influence over the load order of web applications themselves. --David Eric Haszlakiewicz wrote: On Mon, Apr 24, 2006 at 11:20:54AM -0400, David Smith wrote: This question
