Tom Kimzey updated WW-3772:
---------------------------

    Description: 
When stopping or undeploying my struts 2 web app in Tomcat (7.0.23) I get 
several severe warnings from tomcat:

SEVERE: The web application [/myapp] created a ThreadLocal with key of type 
[com.opensymphony.xwork2.inject.ContainerImpl$10] (value 
[com.opensymphony.xwork2.inject.ContainerImpl$10@1376afa]) and a value of type 
[java.lang.Object[]] (value [[Ljava.lang.Object;@15075f9]) but failed to remove 
it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over 
time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

I've hunted all over the web and found this error repeated in several places, 
but I haven't yet found a solution. I then found some posts that lead me to 
believe this was a problem in the xwork libs but that it had been resolved in 
the latest version:

http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-560

I also found a reference suggesting this could be a problem with using the 
deprecated FilterDispatcher rather than a StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-2167

I was originally using Struts 2.1.8.1 and upgraded to the latest (2.3.1.2) 
which didn't solve the problem, nor did switching back and forth between the 
FilterDispatcher and StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.

I also tried an IntrospectorCleanupListener as a shot in the dark but to no 
avail.

If I comment out the StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter and deploy/stop the web app, 
the severe warnings regarding ThreadLocals go away (though obviously my web app 
no longer works).

I sought further advice on the Struts 2 user mailing list as well as a couple 
web forums but didn't get any further suggestions other than to file a bug on 
JIRA. 

It seems at least a few others are experiencing the same issue. From my 
experimentation it seems something related to the StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter 
starts off threads on startup but they are not shut down properly. I could not 
find any documentation on additional cleanup I might perform to force any 
threads started by struts to shutdown.
