           Summary: long delay in Tomcat startup
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.12
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3951945
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Connector:Coyote
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm using Tomcat 5.5.9, but I see from
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3951945 that it's still an issue
in 5.5.12. JDK1.5

When Tomcat starts without webapps, it starts quickly: within a few seconds I
can type http://localhost/manager/html/list in a browser and get a response.
But when I put webapps in (either with a <Context> in server.xml or by dropping
them in the webapps folder), Tomcat can take 14 min, 24 min, or even longer to
start up. During that time, browser requests are met with an endlessly circling
throbber.
The webapp I'm using is Cocoon, but others (see above link) have reported the
same problem with other webapps. The problem has been intermittent for us, but
right now on our production server, it is happening every time.

There are no errors in the Cocoon logs.
An excerpt from the Tomcat stderr log shows where it took over 24 minutes to get
from

Thinking the delay might be caused by the XML parser trying to chase down DTD
urls in XML config files, I removed such DOCTYPE declarations where I could find
them. But it didn't help.
I really don't know if this is a Tomcat bug, but it's a serious problem.

Incidentally, we upped our Java memory settings to 512MB (init) and 1024MB
(max), but that didn't help.
