Mark, Thanks for the reply! I am aware that there are changes to this in Tomcat 7 and will definitely get there, but will wait until we move to JSF 2.x (which is hopefully sooner than later).
Unfortunately the start flag in the Connector will be true if connector.start() is called, regardless of the success of the operation, so isAvailable() will always return true in my case.

Upgrade to 7.0.x where all this was completely re-written?
