Hi,
...the startup performance of Tomcat 7 can be nicely influenced by setting paramter "metadata-comolet="true"" in the web.xml:
Code:
<web-app xmlnssi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee <a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd</a>"
id="WebApp_ID"
version="3.0"
metadata-complete="true">
Tomcat docu says: Setting metadata-complete="true" disables scanning your web application and its libraries for classes that use annotations to define components of a web application (Servlets etc.). (from: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo/FasterStartUp)
Inside CaptainCasa there is no usage of annotations - everything is "directly" declared in web.xml and faces-config.xml.
