Register a context listener and free the timer in it. -----Original Message----- From: gautam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 October, 2002 9:53 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Using Non-Servlet Timers (Was - I need to run a servlet periodically)
Hello, We are using java.util.Timer objects to periodically run through a few object caches and get rid of stale items. Everything works fine. However, I can no longer stop Tomcat using the "Catalina.bat stop" command. I suspect that the Timer objects are still alive and are the cause of the problem. Any ideas on how to fix this ? The objects we schedule via the timers are not Servlets. They are plain vanilla Java classes.

The servlet can get parameters from the web.xml file (like how often to execute) and pass that to your class that controls the timer. The servlet can pass your class the connection pool info and other needed session info.
