I'm busy having a good look at Tomcats code,
When I find something, I will report it like this, the powers that be, can list 
it as a bug, an issue, a nice to have, whatever.
There is no need to report back, I'm not waiting for the changes, I'm making a 
modified Tomcat prototype called WildCat, so anyone interested can play with 
that.

TOMCAT ISSUE: System.exit(1),

In Catalina ->  public void stopServer(String[] arguments)

        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.error("Catalina.stop: ", e);
            //System.exit(1);  //MODIFIED
        }


        } catch (IOException e) {
            log.error("StandardServer.await: create[" + port  + "]: ", e);
            //System.exit(1); //MODIFIED
        }

In an embedded application, these System.exit(1) kill the entire application.
So for example if a user through an embedded application Starts or Stops tomcat 
twice, they don't see a trapped or redirected error in the application, because 
the application shuts down.

And in StandardServer -> public void await() The log.error will appear in the Dos/Terminal err/out stream, but in a Java application, the user will not be looking at that, the application just disappears. Johnny Kewl eMail: John<No Spam>kewlstuff.co.za -- replace <No Spam> with @ --
