Hi Guys,
Am I correct in my assumption that servlet filters are started before servlets and that the context listeners are not fired until both the filters and servlets have been initialised? What I am trying to do is run some code before the context is started which is actually going to copy a mycontext.xml into another mysecondcontext.xml (using docBase="single_webapp_location"). which would then get auto deployed into Tomcat creating the 2nd context. As part of this process I also need to copy some files from a 'location' into the docBase and suspect that this will cause Tomcat to reload both contexts. Is there any entry point during Tomcat startup where I can do some work before either contexts are started? Tomcat is 6.0.29 under JDK 1.6 Thanks for any assistance. Rob
