Yeah, that was what I thought. Apps aren't supposed to do that. But in my case where there is a one-to-one between Tomcat and my app, it's okay. In fact, I also need to launch Tomcat with a special script that sets a number of parameters required by my app, because the one of the systems I'm depending on requires it to be just so. This whole contraption has a real Rube Goldberg feel to it, but dang, it works just fine with System.exit(0). Oh well, as they say, rules were meant to be broken.

If you do app initialization in a ServletContextListener and throw an exception from the contextInitialized method, the webapp won't run. But in both these cases the Tomcat server keeps running. -- Len On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 15:08, COHEN, STEVEN M (ATTSI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, that would work :-).
