Tomcat - starting webapps in a specific order

Question

I know that Tomcat and the Servlet spec do not support starting webapps in a particular order.

Answer 1

Can it be that they are starting in the order as they are deployed in?

So if i have four apps: 1, 2, 3, 4 and i deploy them in the following order: 1, 2, 4 (restart tomcat), 3 (restart). That it caches something somewhere to make the projects always startup in that order? So 1, 2, 4, 3. It happens over here. I'm unsure, but maybe it helps someone.
