Are you sure shutting down the entire Tomcat instance is the appropriate
thing to do if you can't create the log directory? As opposed to, say,
logging the problem and returning an appropriate status code to the
client?
If you're looking for environmental factors, here's one to think about:
does the server have antivirus with real-time scanning enabled? This
can be a performance pig on Windows, and especially on slower or virtual
servers it can cause timeouts on pretty much any file operation. If it
has, you might want to consider disabling real-time scanning altogether,
or at least preventing scanning on the folders in which your log
directories will be created. The problem's not purely theoretical -
I've had clients lose SQL Server databases because of this issue, for
example.
