Startup behavior settings
Use this page to configure when an application starts compared to other applications and to the server, and to configure whether MBeans for resources are created when an application starts.
To view this administrative console page, click
.Startup order
Specifies the order in which applications are started when the server starts. The startup order is like a starting weight. The application with the lowest starting weight is started first.
- The first application might not start completely before the application server tries to start the next application in the startup order. This scenario might cause unexpected results if the second application depends on the first application.
- For Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) applications, the
<load-on-startup>
tag in the sip.xml file affects the order in which servlets within applications are started. The value that you set for Startup order on this Startup behavior console page determines the importance or weight of an application within a composition of SIP applications. For example, for the most important SIP application within a SIP application composition, specify1
for Startup order. For the next most important SIP application within the composition, specify2
for Startup order, and so on. For more information, see the JSR 116 specification.

Launch application in background
Specifies whether the application must initialize fully before the server starts.
The default setting of false
indicates that server startup does not complete
until the application starts.
A setting of true
informs the product that the application can start on a
background thread and server startup can continue without waiting for the application to start.
Enabling this setting can improve server startup time. However, the application might not be ready
to use when the application server starts.
