The value for the tag defines the order of the startup. > -----Original Message----- > From: Boulay Arnaud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 2:59 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Stop WA at startup > > What is the way for stop all the Web Applications at Tomcat > startup time ? > > <load-on-startup> tag in web.xml seams to be here only to fix > priority ... >
