how to detect whether Tomcat has finished starting completely on Windows?

Hello,

We are planning to use latest Tomcat from 5.x branch on Windows. It's 
started using 'bin/catalina.run bat' (please don't offer to run it as a 
service!). Our application requires Tomcat to be often started (and 
stopped) and we wish to enable certain button in the GUI once it's 
started completely.

We have a problem - we can't find a way to reliably determine  whether 
it has finished started or not.
In the middle of startup, it even responds to http requests - but 
returns http error code 400 with error message like
   No Host matches server name 127.0.0.1

What is the recommended way to determine whether Tomcat has finished 
starting up?

Thank you very much for your answers in advance!

Did you try adding an |org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener to the
engine entry? I see there is an event |
org.apache.catalina.Lifecycle.AFTER_START_EVENT that gets called after
the start of component.

Thank you for this idea, it seens this is a way to go!

As I said earlier, there is a period when it listens on port, but 
returns http error message about "no host found".

> 3. try requesting something from your tomcat

This requires some knoweledge about site structure (and the url to 
peak).. It's not an option for us.

But checking the logs seems to be a best option, thanks again!

There are many ways
1. Parse the localhost log cek for startup completed or something like that
2. telnet to your server at tomcat port
3. try requesting something from your tomcat
