Sergey commented on AMQ-3451: ----------------------------- The problem is that when you put ActiveMQ libraries into Tomcat shared "lib" folder, then ActiveMQ thread pool becomes shared between all web applications. When a web application sends a message, then a transport thread is created by a web application, then the thread is returned to the pool. Then the web application is undeployed, the thread remains alive in the pool and can be re-used by another applicaiton. In results into a memory leak, because the thread is still alive after undeployment of web application and references the web application context classloader. > Tomcat 6.0.32 complains that ActiveMQ 5.5 doesn't shutdown a thread > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-3451 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3451 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JMS client > Affects Versions: 5.5.0 > Environment: jdk 1.6.0_23 for Linux 64 bit, Ubuntu 11.04 > Tomcat 6.0.32 > Spring 3.0.5 > Reporter: John Miller > Labels: leak, resource > > Every time when restarting web application in Tomcat Manager I get messages: > SEVERE: The web application [/sms] appears to have started a thread named > [ActiveMQ Task-3] but has failed to stop it.
