title: Tomcat 7 skip specific folder loading from webapps
body: <p>I am having two .war files, say webapp-A.war and webapp-B.war of two different projects. When I start tomcat, it deploys these wars and two folders are created in webapps directory i.e. webapp-A and webapp-B.</p>
  
  <p>When I start tomcat both these folders are scanned and loaded. This increases the startup time of tomcat and consumes more memory. I dont want to work on both at a time but I must be able to switch between any two.</p>
  
  <p>So, is there any way to skip loading of webapp-B when I am working on webapp-A considering both being present in webapps directory?</p>
