The above seems to conflict with the results of my experiments running 6.0.20 as a service on Vista 64. > This is because tomcatN.exe doesn't keep a thread alive on it's own > after starting Tomcat, so there are no non-daemon threads left and > Tomcat shuts down. That's not the behavior I observed, nor is it reflected in the code. There's a check for port == -1 in StandardServer.await() that repeatedly sleeps for 10 seconds waiting for a stop flag to be set. Setting the port to -2 causes an immediate return from the await() method, while any other value attempts to acquire a socket for the specified port. The original thread from tomcat6.exe does appear to have exited, although its Thread object is still around. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
