disabling copy of context.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost

[Rajeev Verma <r....@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am facing a problem which can be solved if I can disable copy of
context.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost. Is there some setting to do so?
Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Raj

That's a problem.  Tomcat makes no promises about the order of
application startup, and it's single threaded so you've got to wait for
each app to complete it's init.

You might be able to fiddle with timestamps to trick the natural
ordering of the files as they're read off the file system.

If 2 works, it seems like the easiest solution.

You can search the changelog for fixes that might have made a
difference.  Does it still work if you revert to 6.0.18, without
changing the app config?

Thanks for the response pid. I am using Tomcat 6.0.26 with java 1.6 on
Windows XP.
I have two applications (application AU and AC) under same webapps. AC does
not have a context.xml though AU has. There is a dependency between AU
and AC and AC need to be started first at start up.

When I deployed both the applications first time it worked fine. AC started
first and then AU. Also context.xml of AU was copied to
conf/Catalina/localhost. Now when I shutdown tomcat and start it again
tomcat tries to start AU first and it fails, becuase it need AC to be up.

There are two options I have:
1) Disable copy of context.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost
2) Add a blank context.xml for AC

One more thing, this was working fine on Tomcat 6.0.18.

Thanks for your help.

What are your exact Tomcat, JVM, OS versions?

What is the problem?
