Application slow starting up

[Michael Molloy]

Hey guys & gals. We're using tomcat 4.1.12 on Windows connecting to an oracle database on another machine. We've got our app setup in the webapps directory, and everything works fine on our development boxes & our QA box (mix of OS X, wintel, and Sun) . However, at the client site running on a Dell dual processor w/Windows 2000, the application takes about 18 minutes to start. Once it gets going, it's fine, but it takes far too long to start up.

In the web.xml file, there is one servlet that uses the load-on-startup parameter with a value of 0. However, the hang happens before that servlet is initialized. I know that because I put some print statements in the init() function, and those lines do not show up in the log until after the 18 minutes of startup. Once the first one prints, the rest print as quickly as you would expect.

If we remove our application from the webapps directory, tomcat starts up quickly, just as it normally does.

Just to restate, this is only happening on one box. Unfortunately, it's the box at the client site. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
