I see at least two threads > running in Tomcat (las seen in Thread dump and looking at it in > "Probe"). Are you re-deploying your application at all? If you are only starting your thread, you will be starting a new thread for each deployment. So, if you re-start your application, a second (or third, or fourth) will be created. Tomcat doesn't kill your application's threads when the app dies. You need to end them yourself. Since you already have a ContextListener, just add a destroy() method that shuts down the background thread. Apologies if you're already doing this, but you didn't mention it and I figure it's the most likely scenario. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkn7JAIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBQ/QCgq3ZlezGAiw8F9M9KiVG6lOjD B8IAniSz5gk9WBZ97jS0pBjtxLp4IUlj =hYDX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
