Read all the responses; you do *not* need the shutdown port in Windows. If running Tomcat as a service, the shutdown works with the port set to -1 by generating a shutdown signal to the Tomcat process. If running Tomcat from a command prompt, use CTRL-C to terminate Tomcat cleanly. > I am giving link to the each application on destop and start of > menu once user click the link it point static page and it will > call startup.bat file so each application same line I am giving > link and it will point same startup.bat file. That's bad; each time the user clicks the link a new instance of Tomcat will start, all but the first of which will die due to port conflicts. Sloppy, at best. You should have the links target your own script that determines whether or not Tomcat is running and starts it only when needed. > Next import point we are not shutdown server because user don’t > want to see the tomcat console so we are just leaving server when > user will restart machine then will system will remove instance > from memory.

Configure a lifecycle listener for each webapp; if there's no activity for any of them over the desired time period, send the shutdown signal. It's probably easiest for you to leave the shutdown port configured, but use a different password. Since the user has complete control of the machine, the user can kill the Tomcat process any time he or she chooses, so the presence of the shutdown port listener is not really a concern. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
