Well, I guess I was wrong. The delay is still there. I installed a new copy of Tomcat and still have the same problem. I have the following context files:
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/context.xml Which contains (comments removed): <Context> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> <Manager pathname="" /> </Context> ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost/Spc.xml <Context antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true"> <Manager pathname="" /> </Context> I uncommented the <Manager> element because I don't want to persist sessions between startups. I am still getting the four minute delay. The tomcat log messages show (similar to before): 2009-10-12 18:06:13,973 DEBUG main org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig - Successfully processed context [/Spc] configuration file E:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\conf\Catalina\localhost\Spc.xml null 2009-10-12 18:10:12,987 DEBUG main org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext - Starting /Spc I notice that the "null" is still being displayed, which, according to an earlier reply indicated the file has no recognizable content. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for any help. -----Original Message----- From: Law, Christopher [mailto:chris....@snapon.com] Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:02 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat hangs for minutes between ContextConfig and StandardContext (Starting the app) Yup, guess I missed the keyword "Attributes" in the doc. Anyway, I added the attributes and it has significantly improved the deploy and startup. There are minor delays as indicated in the Tomcat doc, but these are delays of seconds - much better than four minutes!

It should look like this: <Context antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true" /> - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
