I have started a new thread concerning my shutdown problems as they were addressed in the previous "tomcat shuts down" thread. Below is the latest reply to that thread.
Is anything flooding my server? I don't think so. That server only houses our MySQL database. Multiple users input data into it using a web interface. The web interface is the reason for the Tomcat set up on this server. I would guess that at any given time there could be a dozen users inputting at the same time but not much more than that. It is possible that it is hanging due to memory usage. The loop issue is interesting. What was the resolution for that? As I stated previously I manually stop and start Tomcat every morning. It is not that big of an inconvenience to do that in general but at the same time I would like to know why it is doing this and resolve it. There is something wrong with the application and fixing it would make things run smoother.

I have similar experiences in 2 scenarios 1. A tomcat died every morning, Then we foundout that its flooded by requests at a certain time and there is a flaw at our design that permits only 1 connection for the flooded application. 2. An application causing the tomcat server to hang, exhausting our cpu resources to 100%, trigerred by Stop command from manager. Even after shutting down the tomcat, the process is still running and we have to manually kill the java thread. Thenwe found out that our application got an infinite loop bug when we force it to close. On 1/12/07, Steve Ingraham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a similar problem.
