Mark certain contexts inactive?

2005-10-06 Thread Scott Purcell
Hello,

On my development machine, I have created quite a few contexts or webapp 
instances, and due to that fact, the startup time is increasing. I do not want 
to remove any of the contexts as they all mean something to me, but I would 
like to be able to mark them so they do not start up. And then be able to 
turn them on when needed. 

Is there a clean way of doing this? 

Thanks,
Scott

Not sure that you can do much at the Context level, but have you 
looked at the deployOnStartup attribute of the Host element in your 
server.xml file?  As I understand it, if that is set to false, it will prevent 
a 
Host from being deployed until the server receives a request for that 
application.

I usually create a new Host for each web application rather than adding 
contexts under the default host.  The only functionality I lose this way is 
automated deployment of a _new_ application, but the benefits 
outweigh that loss for me.  One benefit is the ability to stop an 
application from loading up on startup.
