Jhon,
I want to share my understanding on this. Normally the Container in-build web application called the default web application. It is deployed before our web application. For example,
Tomcat has the web application called �manager�. This we cannot start, stop or redeploy. But thru this console, we can get hold of our web application life cycles.
So default web application is deployed as part of server start up. Non default (our application) can either deployed after default web application or by demand thru default web application.
