hi all

i run my project in tomcat (os is windows). when stop my project get this ERROR :

   SEVERE: A web application appears to have started a TimerThread     
   named [Timer-5] via the java.util.Timer API but has failed to stop it. 
   To prevent a memory leak, the timer (and hence the associated thread) 
   has been forcibly cancelled.

my project is very simple and not used as ScheduledExecutorService and Timer .

hi

I'd like this question (http://www.coderanch.com/t/581841/Tomcat/Tomcat-application-started-thread-AWT) and said the Tim Holloway :

This one I am not so certain of. There appears to be an RMI timeout timer, but all of that is part of Tomcat, so it should not be a leak

and Timer can also be included as part of any of the libraries supplied in your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib folder . please check .
