I've got some problems on some of our production servers, running Suse
SLES 9 / IBM SDK 1.4.2 SR5 with webapp loading order.
From what I saw in org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig, the
deployApps method make use of File.list() which is not guaranteed to
return the list of String in any particular order :
* <p> There is no guarantee that the name strings in the resulting array
* will appear in any specific order; they are not, in particular,
* guaranteed to appear in alphabetical order.
*
What about using a simple Arrays.sort to have the list sorted in
alphabetical order and so have something coherent between JDK and
implementations ?
Here is the 'modified' deployApps method.
/**
* Deploy applications for any directories or WAR files that are found
* in our "application root" directory.
*/
protected void deployApps() {
File appBase = appBase();
File configBase = configBase();
// Deploy XML descriptors from configBase
String [] list = configBase.list();
Arrays.sort(list);
deployDescriptors(configBase, list);
// Deploy WARs, and loop if additional descriptors are found
list = appBase.list();
Arrays.sort(list);
deployWARs(appBase, list);
// Deploy expanded folders
deployDirectories(appBase, list);
}
