Order for starting WebApps

["Collins, Jim" <ji...@uk.nomura.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to specify the order in which Tomcat starts WebApps? I
have a servlet that loads a library used by other apps and I need to ensure
that this is started first.

Thanks

Jim.

Tomcat makes no guarantees about the order that webapps are started in.

A typical strategy for your scenario would be to have all the webapps call
the "start my library" method, and make that method smart enough to do its
thing only the first time it is called.  Then, it would not matter which
webapp happened to be started first.
