Re: [jetty-users] Start order for webapps

[Hugues Malphettes <hmalphettes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nico,
I think that if you deploy your webapps via a context file you could
specify the order in which they are initialized.
For example this context file should deploy in the expected order 2
webapps. (disclaimer: untested)

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Jetty//Configure//EN"
"http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/configure.dtd";>
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerList">
  <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerList">
    <Set name="handlers">
      <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler">
        <Item>
          <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
              <Set name="contextPath">/app1</Set>
              <Set name="war"><SystemProperty
name="jetty.home"/>/orderedwebapps/app1</Set>
          </New>
        </Item>
        <Item>
          <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
              <Set name="contextPath">/app1</Set>
              <Set name="war"><SystemProperty
name="jetty.home"/>/orderedwebapps/app2</Set>
          </New>
        </Item>
      </Array>
    </Set>
  </New>
</Configure>

If we were deploying webapps that are contained inside OSGi bundles
and started at the same time than the bundles that contain them you
would simply need to have one bundle depend on the other.

I hope this helps.
