That sounds pretty normal, as far as it goes: Tomcat is sitting around
waiting for someone to connect (e.g., with a browser).
1) When you connect with a browser, are you going to a static file, a
servlet, or a JSP page? Is Tomcat chewing CPU, or just sitting there doing
nothing?
2) Are there any messages in the error logs?
3) When you hit the break key (Control-Break on Windows), what stack traces
do you get? (As a first pass, ignore anything that's hung in
Object.wait().)
4) Are any of your servlets marked as <load-on-startup> in your web.xml?
