Thank you for the response. I understand the limitation I am up against and it is not a production level issue that I have to get around. I have a local VM, as I stated, that solves the issue and as far as production, everything is separate.
I was curious if there is a specific reference on this problem that I can point to for my fellow devs that try to run everything on a single Tomcat instance. -Scot -----Original Message----- From: Pid [mailto:p...@pidster.com] Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 10:22 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Context Chicken & Egg Problem On 10/12/2009 15:15, Scot Hatt wrote: > Hello, > > I have spent a great deal of time scouring the bug list and trying to put > together the right set of terms to find resolution for this but have been > unsuccessful. > > I am dealing with a situation where webapp A is calling a servlet in webapp > B during A's startup.

The startup sequence for contexts is sequential AFAIK, but the order isn't specific or specifiable. You have have to consider an alternative method of achieving what you want. p --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
