how to detect if web app is deployed

[Willian Irving Zumwalt]

Hey all,

I'd like to know how to detect if a web application has been deployed
from my main web application and if so, have another tab in my main
web application appear for the newly installed web app. BTW - I'm
using jboss if that matters.

Any advice on how something like this works?

Any help much appreciated.

A web application has a context root. You can check if it exists / is
deployed by performing a HTTP GET request on it.

Now, if you meant "I want to detect any newly installed web application",
you're out of luck: this is highly specific to the application server
you're using. Maybe your application server supports getting a list of
running web applications, maybe not.
