Hi Mark, thanks for the prompt reply. I tried your suggestion, and yes, *something* happens. The log says
15.08.13 18:45:50.903 [INFO] | [Thread-5] [Http11Protocol] [Pausing ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"]] log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info. but the tomcat exec-war process is still alive (ps tells me so). I then forced a thread dump and it revealed that amongst a bunch of daemon and GC threads the main thread is still alive and waiting in Tomcat7Runner.waitIndefinitely(). Anything else I should try?
