Stop a webapp from being started when tomcat starts

Hi,

Is it possible to configure tomcat to not start a specific webapp when
it starts up?

Ben,

Just set the permissions to  on the webapp directory and it won`t startup 
again when tomcat gets a restart.
*Note* it doesn`t get listed as well so you can`t manually start the 
application anymore.

You used to be able to do this in tomcat 5.0.28 but can't seem to in
5.5.23, unless I'm missing something.  In the Host section of your
server.xml if you set autoDeploy=false and deployOnStartup=false
then you could drop your context descriptor files in the
conf/engine/host/ directory and start them up that way.  Since the
manager app has a manager.xml file located there you could still use the
manager app as well.

In tomcat 5.5.23 if you set deployOnStartup=false then nothing out of
the appBase gets deployed nor do any of the apps referenced by the
context descriptors (manager app doesn't get deployed).  I wish you
could have a deployOnStartup for apps in the appBase and a different
deployOnStartup for context descriptors in conf/engine/host/
