tomcat don�t release port 8080 when on shot down

[ben josh]

Hello all ..
I have some kind of weird problem, im using apache 1.3 and tomcat 4.4 with mod_jk as the connector
Running on Solaris unix .
every thing is working just fine except when I shot down tomcat with bin/catalina.sh stop
the port 8080 is still remind busy by tomcat (netstat �a | grep 8080 shows tomcat java )
when I open the server.xml I see that there is something called : CoyoteConnector that takes this port
and tomcat just need it .
what is wrong here? why is the port stay busy ?
Thanks

Do you have any non-daemon threads running in your app that may be keeping Tomcat from shutting down?

[ben josh]

what is "non-daemon threads" app?

[Ben Souther]

In your app, does any of your code spawn threads?

[ben josh]

no it dose not
in fact when i lock in the logs again i see that the only thing that use the port 8080 is : CoyoteConnector
and when i use to track the busy port with lsof + ps -ef
im geting that the thing that listen to the port after tomcat is dead is this :
jdk/jdk1.4.1/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.di
what else can i do / check ?

thanks

Not that this solves the real problem but if you're using mod_jk to intergrate with Apache HTTPD, you probably don't need the coyote connector (although it's sometimes useful to test things by hitting tomcat as a standalone).

Have you tried a thread dump to see what, exactly, is keeping the JVM from shutting down?

[ben josh]

ok so yes i tryed to comment out in the server.xml the part where it says about cayota stuff , but then all the tomcat didnt served any servlet
or mybe i didnt canceld it as i need to , how can i cancle it?

[Ben Souther]

How are you hitting your servlets, through Apache HTTPD via the connector or are you aiming your browser directly at tomcat via port 8080?

If the latter, why are you using mod_jk?

Another thought that I had..
When you shut down Tocmat, are you also shutting down Apache HTTPD?
If not, maybe the thread that listens for connector requests is keeping Tomcat from shutting down.

If you haven't already, try shutting both of them down and then run netstat.
