Do you start the thread? If so, keep a handle on it, and call interrupt() in a contextDestroyed method of a ServletContextListener. Hopefully the thread is written to gracefully and correctly handle interrupt(). Otherwise, you're a bit SOL. You can stick a System.exit call at the end of the contextDestroyed method. That'll ensure server exit ;) If there are other webapps on the same server instance, though, well... ;) Yoav This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
