A couple of other ideas: Use a small shared class (in shared/lib) to keep track of whether the database is running. The first webapp notifies this class when it's ready, and the second webapp checks if the database is ready before using it.
Or, just accept that database errors will occur during startup. This is not a bad solution. From a user's point of view, when the server is down all requests will return some kind of error, until the server is back up and running. The only thing you can hope to gain is a better error message for a few seconds during startup. -- Len On 4/24/06, David Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This question comes up every so often and the answer is always no.
