> It is highly desirable that the HTTP connectors can be made dependent on the correct startup of one or more webapplications.   This is to prevent a server with failed webapps to join a cluster, or for
> it a server to join a cluster before required webapplications are fully deployed.
> It should be possible to add GBean dependancies in the web container plans, however an opinion has been expressed that this is not flexible enough and would be difficult to configure and update.
> So a specific mechanism has been proposed.
> Issues to consider are:
>  + How should the dependencies be expressed: specific webapp, all webapps, 
>     number of webapps?
>  + Where should they be expressed?  In the container plan, or perhaps as some
>     form or required webapp flag in the geronimo-web.xml ?
>  + If the dependencies are not meet, what state should the connector be in?  Should it be
>    just not be started, or should it start, but have internal state (eg open/closed)  as this 
>    would allow a future conversation with advanced load balancers.
>  + Should the server port be opened - but no requests accepted?   This will reserver
>     the port and verify that no other resource is using it while the webapps are started.
>     Need to verify that this will not upset any load balancers.
