If the standard shutdown approach does not work, that is a bug. Whether the bug is in your code or in Tomcat is the next thing to be determined.
What is *supposed* to happen: - Tomcat calls the destroy() method of all your servlets - (Tomcat 4.0 only) Tomcat calls the contextDestroyed() method of all your context event listeners (this was added in Servlet 2.3) - Tomcat exits gracefuly - The operating system process goes away. If this is not happening for you, the most likely explanations are one of the following: - You have a servlet whose destroy() method never returns, or for some reason takes longer to process than you have waited - You have started some threads of your own, have not marked them as daemon threads, and have not cleaned them up in a destroy() method. - There is some bug in Tomcat's shutdown processing. The quickest way to figure out whether it's Tomcat or not is to create a clean installation of Tomcat (from the binary distribution) and start it up and shut it down. If this works for you, then the problem is most likely in your application. If this doesn't work, there's something else wierd going on that should be reported as a Tomcat bug to the bug tracking system at: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ Craig McClanahan On Wed, 31 Oct 2001, Evan Swanson wrote: > Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 10:21:42 -0800 > From: Evan Swanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Tomcat Users List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: 'Tomcat Users List' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: Shutdown Tomcat > > Yeah, I have been wondering the same thing. > > On unix is seems that you have to kill the process. > Shutdown.bat and shutdown.sh do not seem to stop the Tomcat process. > I am guessing they just log off all of the sessions 'gracefully' > You then have to manually kill the process? > > I am not sure if this is a problem with tomcat or it is supposed to be that > way. > > It seems to be the same effect when you use the manager application to > shutdown tomcat so I am guessing that it was designed to work that way. > > I have been unable to find any doco on the subject. > > Does anybody know a better way of shutting down the server than killing the > process? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruno Crapart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 8:35 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Shutdown Tomcat > > > Ctrl + C. :) > > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Fiona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Envoyé : mardi 30 octobre 2001 17:04 > À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Shutdown Tomcat > > > Hi, > > I don't know how to shutdown Tomcat.
