[Wrapper-user] confused about waitForStartMain=TRUE

[Jan V. B. <jan...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am trying to run tomcat-6.0.18 on linux (centos 5.4) with tanuki 
wrapper 3.2.3.

This all works very nice, but now I would like the 
"/etc/init.d/tomcat-tanuki start" command to return only after tomcat is 
fully started.

I thought the 
-Dorg.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp.waitForStartMain=TRUE 
option to be what I am looking for, but I don't seem to get it to work 
as I expect it to be supposed to work.

What I did:

I am using the WrapperSimpleApp.

I start tomcat using "org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap startd".

When I enable debug logging in the wrapper, I see this:

INFO: Server startup in 19484 ms
WrapperSimpleApp: main method completed

The first line is tomcat saying it has completed starting the server. 
The second line is the tanuki wrapper saying the main method has 
returned. So it seems this is OK.

But unfortunately when I run the tanuki wrapper as the /etc/init.d 
script does:

/usr/sbin/tanukiwrapper "/usr/local/tomcat6/conf/wrapper.conf" 
wrapper.syslog.ident=tomcat6 
wrapper.pidfile="/usr/local/tomcat6/tomcat6.pid" wrapper.daemonize=TRUE

This command returns immediately. Without "daemonize" it never returns.

I would like it to return when it says "main method completed". Is this 
possible?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Jan Van Besien
