title: Is there a way to enforce a deployment order in tomcat6?
body: <p>I have 3 wars in my webapp folder. Two of them are built on services of the third one. I'm in a testing environment, i.e. I don't have control over their architectures, so I'm no able to change a thing. So...</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong>: Is there a way to enforce a deployment order in tomcat?</p>
  
  <p>I've ran into one question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2539245/how-to-control-webapp-deployment-order-when-restarting-tomcat">here</a> in stackoverflow, but there's no solution.</p>
  
  <p>Well, actually the guy suggests that changing the name of the webapps to an alphabetical order would help. However, I'm not willing to do that everytime I need to test those and different wars.</p>
  
  <p>I'm positive that there's a way of doing that configuring one of the tomcat conf .xml files. I just don't know which one.</p>
