Shutting down tomcat with the axis webapp installed causes tomcat to not shutdown fully, leaving many java threads runing that require issuing a 'kill -9 ...' in order to restart tomcat. New installation of tomcat 4.1.30, new installation of axis 1.1 final release. No conf changes, just copied the axis subdir under webapps to tomcats webapps dir and restarted tomcat. $JAVA_HOME set to use jdk 1.3.1_09.
I've read a few similar posts but have not seen any solution for this problem yet. It's driving me crazy, so I'm beginning to wonder if it could be Linux distro related. We have an older Redhat 7.1 distro at work we develop on. $ more /proc/version Linux version 2.4.7-10smp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 17:09:31 EDT 2001 Interestingly enough, if I change my $JAVA_HOME to use jdk1.4.2_03 instead, this tomcat shutdown problem with axis leaving threads running goes away. Also, when I leave my jdk at 1.3.1_09, and just move the axis subdir/webapp out of the tomcat webapps directory, the problem also goes away. So it's definetly related to the axis webapp. But certainly interesting that the 1.4 jdk fixes as well..but that causes other issues for my app so I really want to run it with my $JAVA_HOME set to use jdk1.3.1_09. I'm not quite certain why my local $JAVA_HOME jdk would cause any difference on how tomcat/axis shuts down though. Any ideas on what's causing this or how to fix? Thanks! -Craig
