The way to avoid this startup time is to not restart Tomcat at all :-).
Tomcat includes a Manager webapp that includes the ability to dynamically
install, reload, and remove individual webapps, without ever having to
restart Tomcat itself. The commands are simple HTTP requests with query
string parameters, so it is really easy to script. More info:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/manager-howto.html
In the nightly builds of Tomcat 4, you will also find that we've included
some custom tasks for the Ant build tool so that you can install, reload,
and remove webapps directly from your build.xml file. It takes a second
or two to execute these.
