APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
The application config element in server.xml provides an autoStart attribute that determines whether the application is autoStarted whenever the application server becomes aware of the application. This could be during startup, but it could also happen dynamically after the server is already running. The current description of the autoStart attribute implies that autoStart is only relevant during server startup, which is misleading.
