Hi

I suppose it is common question, but one more time :) How I can
specify application initialization order in Tomcat? Seems like it is
alphabetical order now. Is there any way to do it in configs and
withour file-renaming (01xxx.xml, 02yyy.xml etc)?

thanks

Is there a particular reason you'd want them to be initialized in an
order? The webapps are supposed to be tied to their own context,
instead of being dependent on each other.

This might be the only time it's ever been asked.

So far I have never heard of such a capability in Tomcat.

Tomcat handles servlets and JSPs only. Multiple web apps cooperating are
known as an "Enterprise Application", handled on full JEE app servers like
Glassfish, WebSphere or JBoss. I do not know if an enterprise app can specify
the load order of its components, but it shouldn't matter anyway - such an app
isn't loaded until all its cooperating web apps are loaded.
