I have 13 web apps installed, and I changed the startStopThreads to 15. It did not seem to make the application launch any faster. Looking at the startup messages like this: Dec 23, 2016 1:59:28 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService startInternal INFO: Starting service Catalina Dec 23, 2016 1:59:55 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/PaypalCallbacks.xml has finished in 26,514 ms Dec 23, 2016 2:00:00 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/cyber.xml has finished in 4,973 ms Dec 23, 2016 2:00:03 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml has finished in 3,514 ms Dec 23, 2016 2:00:03 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml has finished in 188 ms Dec 23, 2016 2:00:03 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/host-manager.xml has finished in 186 ms Dec 23, 2016 2:00:16 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/360Store.xml has finished in 12,367 ms <etc…> It seems that the clock time of each message is equal to the sum of all of the startup times, which is not what I would expect if it were using multiple threads. Looking at the documentation for this attribute close, I see this: > The number of threads this Engine will use to start child Host > <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/host.html> elements in > parallel Do I need to configure one webapp per Host element in order to utilize multiple threads? I just have a single Host element. —Jesse Barnum, President, 360Works
