Hi. Servlet spec 2.3 says (section 2.3.4, 'End of Service'): "...Before the servlet container calls the destroy method, it must allow any threads that are currently running in the service method of the servlet to complete execution, or exceed a server defined time limit".
Questions: 1. Is Tomcat's behavior on this point user-configurable (and if so how)? 2. If it's not, I'd appreciate any pointers to information about exactly how Tomcat handles this. [...On re-reading this passage from the servlets spec, I realize that "any threads that are currently running in the service method" is murky to me. Is this supposed to be more restrictive than "any threads that have ever been started by the servlet instance (including during init()) and that are still running"?] Thanks much, Mark Mark Francillon Marlboro College [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
