I am working on migrating from TC6 to 7, and noticed in the log file the info messages about jars being needlessly scanned. Did all my googling and stuff and added all the jars mentioned to the catalina.properties file.
All the warnings are gone, but it has done absolutely nothing to improve startup time nor page compile time. For a setup with about 12 hosts, and at least one context each it is still taking about 75 seconds to start up, give or take a couple of seconds every time, and it still takes about 10 seconds to compile a page. The last couple of replies on https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51248 seem to imply that doing so should increase performance, but I'm not seeing it. Is there really any benefit to this that I am missing? It's cumbersome editing this and restarting tomcat if I update a web app and add have to add a new dependency. Chris
