I found the following note in your instruction, can you tell me where to find AJPV12. Thank you in advance for your reply. Special note: The Tomcat service is using AJPV12 to perform clean shutdown and you should make sure that an AJPV12 connector is defined in your server.xml. In the absence of a configured AJPV12 port the Tomcat service will kill Tomcat abruptly (that is murder it) without giving it a chance to clean up. Regards, Dan
