In our case I think all threads started by our web application are cleaned up properly...the delay we're experiencing seems to be within 40 second which is acceptable otherwise...but the thing is that our users are used to the way TC401 shuts down (within 1 sec), they simply can not accept that 40 sec extra delay ... :-(

The JVM running Tomcat shuts down when all non-daemon threads have been killed. Tomcat properly cleans up all the threads that *it* creates -- it is up to your application to do the same. > Jindong. > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################################ ######### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ############################################################################ ######### ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal #####################################################################################
