As a stop-gap, you could write a little program to "ping" the site with an HTTP request every few minutes, to keep it awake. -- Len On Feb 11, 2008 9:43 AM, Brian Le <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Issue: > Apache Tomcat takes 3-4 browser request clicks to "wake up" after being idle > for 1-2 hours. > > Tomcat is very responsive after Apache and Tomcat server startup also after > doing my 3-4 browser request clicks to the website to "wake up" Tomcat. > However, after 1-2 hours of being idle (having no bowser requests or visits), > it seem like Tomcat require me to click 3-4 browser request clicks to "wake > it up" then it will become very responsive again. > > I just developed the website and just started to promote it, so the traffic > to the website is very very low.
