Order of webapps startup
As per the Wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous#Q27
---
What order do webapps start (or how can I change startup order)?
There is no expected startup order. Neither the Servlet spec nor Tomcat
define one. You can't rely on the apps starting in any particular order.
---
Wondering if there is anything changed in 7.x? If not, how in general it
is addressed if one webapp depends on another webapp to be available.
Thanks
Srikanth

The second caveat being that if you want to change anything to the Context of an
application, you have to restart the whole Tomcat.

Forgot to mention the caveat. It works like this at the moment. There is
no guarantee it will continue to work like this.

Nope.

Don't design your web applications that way. Web apps are meant to be
independent.
The one way you can control this is define the Contexts in server.xml.
They will be started in the order they appear in the file.
