Based on my reading of the javadoc and source, I expected 1
"JspRuntimeContext" thread per context when the following conditions were
met:
1. development is true and checkInterval is greater than 0 for JspServlet
2. The webapp is a directory
However, I seem to get arbitrary numbers of these threads, usually between
10 and 30, for each context. This is a problem in a hosted environment,
where I need every thread I can get.
Luckily, I've been able to track down the root cause of all of these extra
threads: the <jsp-file> child element of the <servlet> element in web.xml.
If the above conditions are met, I'll have one normal JspRuntimeContext +
one thread for each servlet that specifies a <jsp-file>. I imagine each of
these servlets instantiates a new JspServlet, which instantiates a new
JspRuntimeContext in its init method, which calls threadStart()...
To reproduce:
1. Install a new Tomcat 5.5.23
2. edit conf/web.xml, and set update the JspServlet to include these params:
<init-param>
<param-name>development</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>checkInterval</param-name>
<param-value>20</param-value>
</init-param>
3. Create a "threadTest" dir in webapps/
4. Create a WEB-INF/web.xml in threadTest/:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
version="2.4">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>servletname</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/servletname.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>servletname2</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/servletname.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>servletname3</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/servletname.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
</web-app>
6. Start Tomcat, and observe thread list (you can use ctrl-break). You will
see 4 JspRuntimeContexts for the threadTest context: 1 normal one, and one
for each servlet that specifies a <jsp-file>.
Is this a bug? Hard to say... while I sure don't want one thread for every
<jsp-file>, a different instance of JspServlet for each declaration is the
"servlet way". Maybe JspRuntimeContext could be a context-wide singleton?
Thanks in advance for any further info.

I should have looked at the code rather than relying on my dodgy
memory. This looks to be entirely normal to me.
The javadoc explains all:
