I'd like to configure Tomcat 5.5 to fail to start if any of its webapps fail to start. Is that possible? I can't find any configuration element in the documentation that suggestions that this can be done.
A:
I suspect there's no way to do it with a configuration setting. Tomcat is started with a script. Extend the script to check whether your site is up, and then stop tomcat if it isn't.

A:
If you have no security manager running, you can simply call System.exit(0) on failure. The shutdown handler will perform an orderly shutdown.
