Hi,
To answer my own question: This happened because I accidently deleted the Temp folder in Tomcat. Incidentally, the reason why I am messing with this folder is because Axis leaves behind temporary folders. These build up over time and eventually slow down the server. This should definitely not be occurring and it is a bug. I now point the finger at Rampart as it seems to be depending upon this folder.

The presence of the remaining files may cause problems 15-Feb-2012 16:50:51 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory On investigation I noticed that the following files remained: rampart-1.5.2.mar rahas-1.5.2.mar Why is rampart still loaded? Do I have to explicitly "Disengage" the rampart module when I destroy the axis stubs? I am using Axis2 1.5.6 and Rampart 1.5.2. I also noticed a whole bunch of these: SEVERE: The web application [/xxx] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Locale$1] (value [org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Locale$1@162b084]) and a value of type [java.lang.ref.SoftReference] (value [java.lang.ref.SoftReference@f243e0]) 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. but I ignored them because of issue[1] says it is fixed in 1.5.6 and Tomcat's messages can be ignored. Can anyone shed light on this?
