Sorry to reply to my own post, but I have sort of figured it out. There were about 2000 classes in /WEB-INF/classes, only one servlet though. Instead of making the war from here, we only have the servlet class in WEB-INF/classes and jar up the rest of the packages and place that jar into WEB-INF/lib.
Not ideal, but I guess it will have to do, but I don't see why it would matter how many classes are in WEB-INF/classes. Start up time is now around 5s instead of 80s. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Beaulieu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 10:32 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: Tomcat6, apache2, mod_jk, non-APR, windows 2000, slow server startup with unpacked WAR Hello, we are having problems with slow server startup with Tomcat6. It is a basic webapp and the server starts up fairly quickly when WEB-INF exists, but if we are trying to deploy from a WAR, it takes 10 times as long. I've downloaded the tomcat source to try to dig in and see what is going on, but thought I'd try here first. We are getting different behavior on 3 different systems. On one windows xp machine, it takes about 7-8 seconds to complete the server startup, on another about 15s, and on the windows 2000 machine it takes over a minute. I only mention the OS because that is the only difference software wise. This is all using the same WAR, built and packed on one machine. I've tried APR and it is actually slower starting up.
