If you want to work with threads in tomcat you need to know about the Tomcat
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener interface. If you implement the interface
and register your
class within server.xml your class will be notified of Tomcat life cycle events
(Start, Stop,
etc...). You can then do appropriate things when those events happen.
Here is an example method that is the only method in LifecycleListener:
public class TomcatServerLifecycleListener implements LifecycleListener
{
public void lifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent event)
{
if(Lifecycle.STOP_EVENT.equals(event.getType()))
{
//Call a method on your Runnable that will trigger it
to exit the Run()
method.
// (or set a Boolean to stop looping, I've adjusted
your code below too; how
you
// set the flag is up to you)
}
}
}
Here is the line to be added to Server.xml to register a class as a listener:
<Listener className="com.services.tomcat.TomcatServerLifecycleListener"/>
So if you created an object like I have above and gave it a static method that
allows you to insert
an object that needs to be notified of a shutdown event, then you will be able
to control your
threads properly. You could even have your Runnable implement the
LifecycleListener directly and
have your registered object keep a list of objects that need to be notified.
There are dozens of ways to do this, pick one that works for you. Don't forget
to investigate all of
the LifecycleEvent types in case you have use for the other options.

Subject: how to correct stop a thread and avoid leaks
Hello, im running an app that has a class that implements
ServletContextListener (Server class), on
that class i create a thread of Listener (that implements Runnable)
Listener starts a ServerSocket that listen on a port, and in a periodically
manner, this app
receives a string, parses the string and stores the data inside a database.
Flow is
1. receive a tcp connection (syn , syn+ack, ack)
2. receives lines over and over again inside this connections (each line is
parsed and stored)
Below is the code of Listener class and how i call this class from Server
class. What im facing is
im not able to stop Listener in a correct way. doing Listener.interrupt() does
nothing. How can i
safely stop Listener thread
Thanks in advance
--
//initalize listener
Listener = new Thread((Runnable) new
Listener(Integer.parseInt(prop.getProperty("listenonport"))));
if (!Listener.isAlive()) {
Listener.setName("ListenerThread");
Listener.setDaemon(true);
Listener.start();
}
