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.

TIA

Tomcat's not really an app server?  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?
