This is really a two part question. The first question has to do with the error in the log file and the second question has to do with making connections to other app servers in Tomcat.
Part 1: I have a webapp (http://planning.maricopa.gov/apnxy) running under Tomcat 6.0.26 that makes a connection to a different app server that hosts the GIS part of the webapp. That app server is always running, even when I shutdown Tomcat. I looked at the source for WebappClassLoader: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/loader/ and I see that Tomcat is trying to terminate the thread that the apnxy web app started. I could stop the GIS service on the app server prior to restarting Tomcat, then start the app server. Part 2: What is the correct way to make connections to things that are not data sources in Tomcat? Can Tomcat manage the connection information (machine name, domain, user, password)? How?
