How do I make Tomcat startup faster?

Jars

1. If you are loading many web applications which which have the same jars in their WEB-INF/lib then consider moving the shared jars from WEB-INF/lib into the tomcat shared directory {catalina.home}/shared/lib This will reduce the memory used by each web app, reduce the size of your your war files, and increase start up time. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
   2. Remove any jar files you don't need. When searching for classes every JAR file needs to be examined to find the needed class. Also during webapp startup, jar files are searched for TLD files. If the jar file is not there - there is nothing to search.
   

Memory

1. Tweak memory parameters - Google is your friend.
   
   

Config

1. Trim the config files as much as possible. XML parsing is not cheap. The less there is to parse - the faster things will go.
   

Webapp

1. Make sure your code is not doing slow things. (Use a profiler) 2. Remove any webapps you don't need. (So remove the all the webapps installed with tomcat) [http://in.freecities.com/42.html huge bukkake orgy] | [http://sophism.741.com/33.html watersport ladies] | [http://homepage.mac.com/chengdu2/43.html live webcam oslo] | [http://backhoe.wtcsites.com/37.html webcam archive nude] | [http://forfend.freecities.com/ webcam amateurs part 3] | [http://homepage.mac.com/rumours1/43.html ivana diamonds tranny] | [http://homepage.mac.com/hungered/44.html transexuals naked] | [http://overruns.o-f.com/63.html ebony naked ass] | [http://burgundies.exactpages.com/28.html real redhead pussy] | [http://adagios.150m.com/51.html bbw dating site] | [http://avionic.150m.com/4.html celebrity nipple ring] | [http://mean.wtcsites.com/18.html dorm webcam sex] | [http://eats.angelcities.com/87.html swedish women webcams] | [http://insolently.freewebpages.org/11.html toon sex gifs] | [http://planing.1sweethost.com/75.html webcam big naturals] | [http://arboreal.angelcities.com/73.html pittsburgh bukkake] | [http://thrones.g0g.net/21.html erotic web cams] | [http://homepage.mac.com/ranchero2/66.html girls teen webcam] | [http://superior.ibnsites.com/17.html wifes groupsex] | [http://homepage.mac.com/counselor4/55.html mature amature webcam] | [http://orbits.freewebpages.org/87.html young ebony facial] | [http://deodorized.envy.nu/61.html pee up skirt] | [http://homepage.mac.com/hide94/62.html sucking grandma pussy] | [http://homepage.mac.com/shoppes/34.html nasty asian webcam] | [http://homepage.mac.com/bedlam2/14.html natalee holloway pregnant]
