Remy Maucherat commented on JBAS-6746:
--------------------------------------

Easy answer: you cannot do that, and implementing it would take quite some development effort, so it is not doable for 5.1.

Personally, I never liked delayed initialization, since: a) you will only know if the feature is working once you need it b) it will put a large amount of load on the server while it is otherwise user accessible, which means QoS issues. So even if it is implemented someday, plese never enable it on a production config. But it does make sense for development, where the two issues mentioned are not a real problem.

> The Admin Console WAR includes Seam, and will be shipped as part of JBAS 5.1. When JBAS starts up, it deploys and starts the Admin Console WAR. The WAR takes 8-10 seconds to start up (95% of which is Seam initialization). We would like to avoid adding an additional 8-10 to the out-of-box overall JBAS startup time, which is why I'm looking for a way to put off the webapp init until the first time someone actually tries to hit it (which in some cases, may be never).
