I believe Chris meant the ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed() method, not Thread.destroy(); the latter should never be used. Your extra thread should not have to wake up more often to check the terminate flag; the code in your contextDestroyed() method should simply interrupt the extra thread, which will then wake up from its sleep() or wait() call. As far as your having two instances of your extra thread running, your webapp might be getting deployed twice. Poorly constructed server.xml and context.xml configs can easily cause this. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
