Is your webapp hanging during initial deployment (when Tomcat comes up) or always when re-deploying? Tomcat 7 (not sure about prior versions) deploys all webapps /before/ starting the Connectors, which means that Tomcat isn't actually serving requests on any ports when your webapps is first deployed. Only after all webapps have been initialized will Tomcat actually start the connectors. > Again, My solution needs to work in a web container independent > manner so it works on Tomcat, Glassfish etc.). I think you're out of luck, here, unless you either a) put your static resource on the disk and read it from there or b) make your static resource available through a separate web server (which could be Tomcat for all anyone cares). > If I do not find a way to do this then the fallback would be to do > the dynamic loading of plugin jars lazily after server startup. That might be a better option in general: even if Tomcat's connectors were serving requests, there's nothing that says your static resource's webapp would have been deployed when you need it -- it would only be a coincidence or a non-spec-compliant configuration for the container and therefore non-portable. - -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/ iEYEARECAAYFAk900VsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDRCgCfed0OUUVeQCp10QgPv7GCoeQI j98AoJlUkD+CU8r4WCtFFI+Q8L3JSPUQ =NpdT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
