By default Tomcat doesn't bind to localhost, it uses 0.0.0.0 - all IP addresses. If there is no TCP/IP stack on the system in question, it has nothing to attach to. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: (newbie) Why tomcat needs network on startup? > > .. but it seems like it is searching for DNS server on startup :-/ I just ran a Wireshark trace for Tomcat startup and it made no network requests during that period. However, I do have the enableLookups attribute for each <Connector> element in server.xml set to false; if you don't, that may change things. If you find that some DNS lookups are being made by Tomcat, you could define those names in your hosts file to avoid making server requests. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
