Stopping or reloading application shuts down tomcat server

[Ana Windt]

I have Tomcat 5.5.17 running und use the Manager to stop/start applications.

Problem: When I stop or reload one specific application, it shuts down the Tomcat server? Why could this be?

Thanks
K.

"schnegge",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

When you say:

it shuts down the Tomcat server?

Do you get the normal shutdown messages or is some error appearing?

No error messages, simple shutdown of service

See localhost.log

I noticed that it works if ContextListener is removed, but I need it to initialize DBs and read .xml-configs. ContextListener should just remove context but not shutdown the server!?

Error found:
One always running job in the scheduler (receiving telegrams from a DB) was finished by System.exit().
This shut down Tomcat, too.
