Tomcat itself has no such feature, but it sounds like it would be easy to build yourself. Presumably, you have a webapp that takes some time to start up, given all the ServletContextListeners that need to fire. Instead of doing some long-running task in a (series of) ServletContextListener(s), you could use a single one to launch a new thread that performs all your setup and then sets some token in the application scope (something like "configured"). Couple that with a Valve or Filter that checks the status of that token and displays so,e static page and you're done. Now, this static page won't be available instantly... you'll still have to wait for Tomcat to read your webapp's web.xml, create whatever environment you've requested (JNDI, etc.) and then launch your ServletContextListener, but that should happen "very fast" as Tomcat has very little overhead for actually launching a webapp. It's usually the webapp that takes a while to get started. The best thing for you to do for HA would be to have redundant services so that nobody ever has to see the "we're not quite up yet" page. Are you finding that you still get error pages back from Tomcat during deployment under such conditions? Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk53X7sACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAfhwCggdJ7BtKxg58DA8Ubdr54bAK5 z/QAoLokZviEjUEaJkso0nGrY9Cds2y/ =Pjhp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
