Hi, My web application requires database pool connection while startup, when it fails for any reason I need to stop the tomcat server as well. I have used System.exit(int); int here I tried with Zero and non-zero value.
The result is tomcat gets hung. I understand it has to do with Java rather than Tomcat, however I'm looking for a suggestion to stop tomcat in a way similar to the above. I have learnt to stop tomcat a) programmatically using Bootstrap classes, (stops successfully only if you start programmatically) b) by invoking shutdown.sh c) by connecting to the server at port 8005, and send the shutdown string. All the above methods have yielded the same result, moreover it would make my application coded specific to tomcat or Linux; I have also googled with the phrase "~tomcat crash", "stop ~tomcat", "system.exit ~tomcat", ""system.exit ~jvm""; to at least find out that the task cannot be done, however it helped me a little. Here are the versions of server, os and java I'm using. Tomcat: 5.x OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 Java: 1.5 Can somebody help me regarding the same.
