http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13309 Catalina calls System.exit() Summary: Catalina calls System.exit() Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.10 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Catalina calls System.exit()from several locations: -- core/StandardServer calls it -- several classes in startup call it This makes life difficult for application developers who wish to embedd Tomcat into their application, such as to attach a web interface to an application which is otherwise not a web application. In particular it may not be a critical failure if tomcat fails to start up successfully, except that Catalina calls System.exit. It may also be a recoverable error, as the containing system could try re-starting it with different arguments. Please note that the documentation for CatalinaService at least in part implies that it is expected to be used in this fashion: "designed to allow easier wrapping by system level components". So, I think Catalina should not call System.exit(), or should only call System.exit() from a loader which is not intended to be wrapped by a system level component. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
