Okay, I see that point. Since the worker threads who perform the very work to
respond a request are deamons, there seems to be a hard and unconfigured timeout
effective in TC406.
TC403 and TC406 show different behaviors when stopping. Both would require
certain application coding, but which one is the correct behavior, that
application programmers should rely on?

Thema: Re: Different shutdown behavior of httpConnector in TC403 (graceful)
and TC406 (reckless)
There isn't any code (that I know of) in 4.0.6 that performs the kill.
The JVM will terminate if "only daemon threads are running". If the daemon
threads need to perform more work during a shutdown, you need to make sure
one of them is non-daemon.
