Hello, Martin Gainty
Now i got some progress.
I used Borland Optimizeit 6.0's Thread Debugger and found that in my web
application, lots of threads are "defunct".
As I said before, my web application is based on struts framework and I
wrote a plug-in in my app. This plug-in named "AppInfoCachePlugIn" will be
loaded and executed when tomcat starts up. In this plugin, I wrote a class
which extends from Thread and start it. Code like this:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
tfn_handle = new ServerNotify(); // ServerNotify is extended from
Thread
tfn_handle.setName("ServerNotifyThread");
......
// start the thread
tfn_handle.start();
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In "ServerNotify" class, I create a UDP ServerSocket and listen at 10010
port. When a request comes in, ServerNotify will create a new Thread named
"SendMailThread" and do something. Code like this:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// construct the sendmail thread
SendMailThread sml = new SendMailThread();
sml.setName("SendMailThread");
......
sml.start();
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now I found that all "SendMailThread" cannot be released by gc. The
thread's status is "defunct" -- the run function of SendMailThread has been
executed. That means the instances of "SendMailThread" were referenced by
someone -- Tomcat?
So, the problem is:
1. Can I create threads in a web application?
2. How to create threads that can be released gracefully in a web app?
