Hi! Is it possible to configure Tomcat first to deploy all the webapps and create listening socket after that? The problem is following: after Tomcat prints this line:
2010-09-01 09:07:46,454 INFO [main] (org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpAprProtocol) Initializing Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-foo-1%2F192.168.0.1-8009 it also opens that socket/port and this proxy_ajp tries to send requests that address. Problem is that application takes a few minutes to start and thus isn't available during that time. So, it would be great to be able to open the socket only in this phase, after webapps has been started: 2010-09-01 09:08:50,008 INFO [main] (org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpAprProtocol) Starting Coyote AJP/1.3 on ajp-foo-1%2F192.168.0.1-8009 With one Tomcat this isn't a big problem, but in clustered environment the other Tomcats might be available, but proxy_ajp may send request for starting node. And yes, I know that it is possible to disable certain member of cluster in Apache's cluster configs, but that is a bit clumsy approach. Regards, Ossi
