I don't think they did - at least they didn't in my testing with 6.0.18. However, ten seconds *after* Tomcat started, the autoDeploy monitor kicked in, and that did deploy all the webapps. I tried setting autoDeploy to false as well, restarted Tomcat, and then nothing deployed - ever. Nor could I figure out a way to deploy anything manually, since the manager webapp wasn't deployed (catch-22). One way around this is to keep your webapps in some directory other than the one pointed to by the <Host> appBase and deploy them by placing a <Context> element with the appropriate docBase setting in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml when you want the associated webapp to start. Your Tomcat shutdown script would then remove all such files to prevent their automatic redeployment on the next Tomcat startup. But let's back up one step from the original question: why do you not want the webapps to deploy when Tomcat starts? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
