Hi, Tomcat won't know anything about your Thread just because you created it in init(). Tomcat does not monitor your threads, you need to manage them yourself if you insist on creating them which many will tell you is naughty. Maybe you can kill your Thread in the destroy() method of the same servlet, since it sounds like you may have a class member reference to your thread in there.
