I'm new to Liferay developing and I’m facing troubles with the startup of my Liferay Tomcat server. It takes almost 3 minutes (169048 ms) which is unacceptable for development. I’d like to get it down to about one minute.

Here are the specs of my machine:

  • Intel Core Duo T2300 @ 1.66GHz
  • 4GB RAM (3.24GB in use)
  • Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit with Service Pack 1

I’m using:

  • Liferay 6.1.1-ce-ga2 bundled with Tomcat 7
  • Eclipse IDE Juno Release

In order to speed things up, I’ve:

  • removed all unnecessary portlets from the tomcat\webapps folder.
  • put the Tomcat native library 1.1.24 in the tomcat\bin folder
  • tweaked my portal-ext.properties as shown below
     #disable some filters  
     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.cas.CASFilter       = false
     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.ntlm.NtlmFilter     = false
     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.ntlm.NtlmPostFilter = false
     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.opensso.OpenSSOFilter= false
     com.liferay.portal.sharepoint.SharepointFilter             = false
     com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter         = false

     #disable indexing  
     index.on.startup=false

Here’s my startup log:
