War deployment on Tomcat takes ages

Question

I have a Grails application, built to a war file (~30mb). When I attempt to deploy the war file on Tomcat 6 via the application manager, it takes upwards of 10 minutes to deploy

Answer 1

This may be relate to this BUG of JDK

I readed this article, Tomcat7 starts too late on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and resolved my problem.

Try to resolve it by replacing

securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom  

with

securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom 

in $JAVA_PATH/jre/lib/security/java.security
