Hello, I'm running Tomcat 6.0.18 using Java 1.6.0_12 on Windows XP
professional.
> I have a problem that occurs during startup deploying a WAR file.
> Tomcat deploys the WAR file but then there is a delay of minutes
> before it tries to start the application.
>
> During the delay, there is no CPU usage and there is no abnormal
> activity that I can detect. When Tomcat decides to start the
> application, it fires right up.
>
> It almost seems like Tomcat is blocked waiting for a reply from some
> request.
>
> My typical workflow consists of the following:
> Open a command shell.
> Edit code
> Build WAR
> Remove ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/*
> Remove ${CATALINA_HOME}/work/Catalina/localhost
> Remove ${CATALINA_HOME}/logs/*
> Copy the WAR file to ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps
> From the command shell: startup
> Test application
> From the command shell: shutdown
>
> repeat
>
> I set the log level for Tomcat to debug and this is the output, early
