There is a case where this might not actually give you what you are looking for -- which sounds essentially like the amount of time the server spent processing that request. If StandardWrapperValve only times how long invoke() takes and (and I haven't read the code, so I'm not sure) some component in Tomcat executes *after* invoke() completes for the purposes of flushing any buffered data back to the client, then "Processing Time" may be off by the amount of time it takes Tomcat to flush those buffers back to the client. If you have big buffers or slow clients, this could add up quickly. -chris Thanks for the reply. I've done some further digging into the Application List Startup Time. Here is one example from the Tomcat Manager - localhost/account-information-bs-1.1##v1.1.1 Start time: Fri Jan 22 13:26:17 GMT 2016 Startup time: 33 ms TLD scan time: 0 ms When the startup time is compared back to the catalina.out log for the same webapp, the time is dramatically more (307,324 ms) as seen here - 22-Jan-2016 13:26:17.204 INFO [localhost-startStop-15] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Deployment of web application archive /opt/tomcat/webapps/account-information-bs-1.1##v1.1.1.war has finished in 307,324 ms Any ideas why such a difference exists?
