Hi,
After spending days I am writing my problem on this forum. The problem
is when I undeploy a webapp or shutdown tomcat, spring
WebApplicationContext is closed and spring singleton beans destroyed
before webapp Servlet's destroy() method is called. This leads me to
'java.lang.IllegalStateException' in Servlet's destroy() method where I
am cleaning my resources and destroying dynamically created spring beans
and datasources. This happens with tomcat 7.0.39 only on Linux (fedora
17) platform. On windows this works perfectly fine on tomcat 7.0.39. I
have also tried my webapp on tomcat-7.0.29 & tomcat 7.0.25 on linux but
the problem persists. I have tried same webapp on tomcat-7.0.29 &
tomcat-7.0.23 on windows and this work fine without any problem. So I am
not sure why it breaks in Linux environment. Here is the log snippet
generated on both Linux and Windows:

Comparing highlighted portion clearly shows that in windows environment,
DSSerlet.destroy() method is called, resources are cleaned, spring web
application context is closed and spring singleton beans are destroyed.
However, as depicted in Linux log snippet, it is vice versa.
Although the webapp works perfectly fine as this problem happens when
webapp is updepolyed or tomcat is shutdown but still I cannot ignore
this because the datasources are still running and needs to be destroyed
to avoid memory leaks before undeploying webapp.
I will very much appreciate if I can get any help in finding a solution
to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
- Raza.
