Please tell me you are using the Tomcat precompiler and not just deploying the webapp and trying to hit all of the URLs. Tomcat has a precompiler for (I believe) all currently-supported versions. > (We didn't build this product from the ground up, by the way, just > in case you were wondering.

I've been there. I was on a consulting gig once where we replaced about 70% of the code of the product with 3rd-party OSS libraries that had been written after the inception of the project, but the original developers never had the inclination to switch. Things like logging frameworks, O-R mappers, and even a rudimentary XSLT engine (but it wasn't called that at the time). It's amazing what people will write all by themselves. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9iRe0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCvrgCfes0V1ej1G1vuZkV+y+wqnuwH rBQAn20yt4RZWIhLQBgGbHIC/+aX3rMl =MGxB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
