Your problem is not reading the mailing list archives. This morning
several people were discussing this issue. The problem is a bug in Sun's
1.3 JVM on NT handles the user logoff event incorrectly. Sun has reported
this fixed in the 1.3.1 version and several users here had confirmed it, but
today someone indicated that the fix wasn't working for them. I would
suggest (besides putting a little effort into your investigation before
asking questions) downgrading your JVM to the latest 1.2 (since earlier
versions have threading issues).
Also, there exists wrappers around the JVM that trap this logoff
event and don't pass it to the JVM (called JavaService.exe), but I would
suggest going with a plain JVM with no wrapper unless you really need 1.3
and find that 1.3.1 doesn't work for you. (Why introduce more layers with
more complexity and the possibility of more bugs when its not needed.)
