I have tested this on another server, and this time not a VM, which I think rules out issues with it being a virtual machine. The entire server hung immediately after issuing a shutdown to tomcat.
To summarize, this issue only seems to come about when using a tomcat 6 instance while running JDL 6.0_15 and does not occur when using a version 5 release of JDK. This occurs when shutting down the canned instance, or any other webapp such as artifactory. I'm using the tomcat out-of-the-box tomcat instance in the archive from apache.org, and the version of java was installed using the jdk-6u15-linux-i586.bin binary file obtained from java.com. I have no trouble actually accessing the tomcat instance after startup. The server OS in question is RHEL 4. Sorry to be a pest, but I'd really appreciate any input from the community on this. I could always use JDK 5, but my developers would like to use 6 and I don't see a logical reason why such a major release would have so much negative impact on tomcat 6, or the host OS.
