Thank you Luis for the inputs. Yes, we do use the listeners and "contextDestroyed" and clean up the resources. But with many team members working, wanted to have some automated check to ensure cleaning up wasn't missed.

Personally, I do not like very much to parse logs. We, for instance, in our tomcat instances we provide an application that queries the status of the deployed apps, see below. If you have control in the code of "AAA" application I would suggest you to implement contextDestroyed [1] and make a clean up of your resources (db connections, etc.) The catalina stop <n> works beautifully in linux. I must to confess that it is being a while since I do not have a look at the catalina.bat one :) Hope it helps, Luis [1] https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/ServletContextListener.html#contextDestroyed-javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent- // From Registry javadocs: It provides methods to create and // manipulate model mbeans and simplify their use.protected transient Registry registry;private static final String ALL_WEB_MODULES_QRY = "*:j2eeType=WebModule,*"; // Get all modules (contexts) // Retrieve the MBean serverregistry = Registry.getRegistry(null, null);mBeanServer = Registry.getRegistry(null, null).getMBeanServer();Set<ObjectName> objectNames = mBeanServer.queryNames(new ObjectName(ALL_WEB_MODULES_QRY), null); El dom., 7 jun. 2020 a las 3:50, Amit Pande (<amit.pa...@veritas.com>) escribió: > When the application does not clean up the resources, during shutdown, > we see WARNINGs in Catalina logs: > > "WARNING [Catalina-utility-21] > org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.clearReferencesThread > s The web application [AAA] appears to have started a thread named > [BBB] but has failed to stop it.
