Disabling Apps in host root

[Jerry Malcolm <2n...@gmail.com>]

When I start tomcat, it tries to start an app for every folder in the host
root directory.  Some folders are really apps (with WEB-INF), and some are
folders that are not apps at all.   It starts up the apps in folders with
WEB-INF, but also shows other folders as apps in the manager.  I would like
to control the apps I want to start up and prevent TC from starting
everything it can find.  I figured having a context defined might control
it.  But it doesn't seem to care if there is a context or not.

Is there a way to control the apps that start up (short of removing the
folders from the root)?

Thx.

Jerry

+1  If you don't want them published, don't put them where they can be
published.

What exact version?  We're not mind-readers, and capabilities vary considerably depending on what level you're on.

What do you mean by "host root directory"?  Do you really mean the <Host> appBase directory?  Be precise.

Then why are the non-apps folders there?

Correct; nothing in the spec requires the existence of a <Context> element or even WEB-INF/web.xml.

Look at the deployIgnore attribute of the <Host> element:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/host.html
