Start webapps in tomcat in a determinate order
server.xml, tomcat, web-applications
Solution
According to the Apache wiki (at http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous#Q27):
There is no expected startup order. Neither the Servlet spec nor Tomcat define one. You can't rely on the apps starting in any particular order.
Problem
I have 2 webapps: WebApp 2 depends from WebApp 1 If WebApp 1 is not running, WebApp 2 fails Can I define in tomcat that I always want that webapp 1 starts before webapp 2?
