[Wrapper-user] application runs a thread - Tomcat does not stop completely

[Dave W. <Da...@le...>]

Hello - I cannot seem to get my Tomcat application to stop completely on
Windows XP. =20

I think I know generally what is happening.  The shutdown is issued to
Tomcat correctly.  However, my application runs a thread, which sleeps
for an interval, wakes up, then goes back to sleep.  The servlet
container is not exiting because it is waiting for all of the threads to
end.  When I try the service shutdown while the thread is running I get
this in the log:
=20
ERROR  | wrapper  | 2005/02/15 16:37:38 | Shutdown failed: Timed out
waiting for signal from JVM.
ERROR  | wrapper  | 2005/02/15 16:37:39 | JVM did not exit on request,
terminated

If I end my Thread before stopping the service, it all works hunky dory.
However, I do not want to rely on the user stopping the thread.

I want to be able to call one of my classes so I can shut down the
application's thread.  I have tried everything, mostly using
WrapperStartStopApp.  Help!
