Thanks Ralph Einfeldt - your post was helpful. So after I run the <netstat -a> command I get a table that displays the following relevant information:
Protocol: TCP Local Address: billsaur:1651 Foreign Address: billsaur:8005 State: TIME_WAIT The port 8005 is the Tomcat default shutdown port and it is occupied in a TIME_WAIT state - this appears to be the reason behind the LifecycleException and JVM_Bind problem I'm experiencing. I have run the shutdown.bat file and it is apparently not working. Any ideas on what's going on and how to get it to shutdown properly and get the port out of the TIME_WAIT state?
