Sorry guys I didn't mean to offend anyone. I know that Tomcat offers a lot but what I meant is as you said, it's not a full J2EE App Server, like JBoss, WebSphere ...
What I have is a large enterprise application that does have a web application. In fact it has many. These web apps rely on our core services to be running. Within JBoss etc I can install this as an EAR or SAR and JBoss will start it. I was wondering if there is anything in Tomcat like that, were my Core Services could get loaded/started before the tomcat web container loads the web apps. Thus I wouldn't have to code anything into the web apps themselves to try and start it.

Geee really, I feel so inadequate now. :-( Seriously, I think I've seen this religious war around here somewhere and it really depends on definition. No, it's not a full J2EE container, but it's definitely an app server in my opinion. Have you read the servlet spec and thought about the ServletContextListener for handling the start/shutdown of a component within your app? --David Mike Wannamaker wrote: >I know that Tomcat is not really an App Server like JBoss etc...
