With Tomcat alone, no idea. I do that with Apache in front of Tomcat, but this requires that Tomcat be set up in a particular way. Here is what happens here when a webapp is started: * Apache is configured to display a static page for the corresponding server name and path; * I use Tomcat's manager webapp to deploy the new context; * on success, Apache is reconfigured to forward requests and its configuration reloaded. For this, Tomcat is started with only the manager webapp, and only in text mode from localhost. Contexts are then deployed and undeployed on demand. One problem with Tomcat is that the bundled startup scripts will return _before_ Tomcat is fully bootstrapped, which is why I have to use my own. This has been discussed at length a few months ago, and is why I have my current setup. It is the only way for me to have the behavior I seek. -- Francis Galiegue ONE2TEAM Ingénieur système Mob : +33 (0) 683 877 875 Tel : +33 (0) 178 945 552 f...@one2team.com 40 avenue Raymond Poincaré 75116 Paris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
