Hi everyone,

I have a question concerning Tomcats WAR deployment behavior:

I have a web application which allows me to upload WAR files to the server
via  a web form.

I get feedback from Tomcat once the upload is finished. I then put the
file in Tomcats "webapps" folder. Tomcat now starts unzipping the package.
How can I manage to get a notification from Tomcat indicating me that the
application is ready to be switched to?

If I had the same problem, and I did not want to start wading through the Tomcat Manager application code (*), then what I would do would be to have my application issue a simple HTTP request to this application, and check what comes back.
And if it was not the first page of the application (**), then I'd wait and 
retry.
But there are probably other ways to do this.

(*) which is available and, some say, surprisingly easy to understand
(**) which, considering I wrote it, could contain some unique string easy to 
detect
