Can you adjust that code? If so, use the form of that method that takes a ThreadFactory object. Something like this ought to do it: public class DaemonThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory { public Thread newThread(Runnable r) { Thread t = new Thread(r); t.setDaemon(true); return t; } } > My new plan was to register a shutdown hook with the JVM in my web > service and to invoke shutdown() or shutdownNow() on the ExecutorService > in it (the method above returns an ExecutorService). Unfortunately, this > does not seem to work. You should do as André suggests and use a ServletContextListener. You should probably use the same listener to both create and teardown the thread pool. I recently had my first experience with Executors in Java. I have to say that I love 'em. So simple, yet so powerful. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAko5KyoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDgcQCfVTfVdv3xUXsEFhh+PYWy9uII hpoAn37qoHfLeSVot+FjaYI3XS+8deeH =j4WL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
