Tomcat... web app startup order

Question

Is it possible to determine the start up order in Tomcat... have app1 wait for another app2 to finish deploying.

I have read the docs that suggest Tomcat does not allow any guarantees.... but using spring apps is it possible to determine when an app has been deployed... and then have the sub apps which have been deployed listen for the main app to fire an event that will trigger them to start up - init..

any ideas?

Answer 1

no tomcat does not support this.

There is no possible way to order it.
