How can I properly shutdown a JAX-WS Spring application on Tomcat?

Question

After launching the application and immediately shutting down Tomcat, I receive the following two warnings of Tomcat:

Mrz 11, 2013 11:25:06 AM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader checkThreadLocalMapForLeaks
Schwerwiegend: The web application [] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.ThreadLocalContainerResolver$1] (value [com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.ThreadLocalContainerResolver$1@9be26c]) and a value of type [com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.Container.NoneContainer] (value [com.sun.xml.ws.api.server.Container$NoneContainer@4c563]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

Tomcat refuses to shutdown and hangs. I am using the com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSSpringServlet. How should this webapp be closed properly?

I'm getting the same problem ! Did you find the solution ? – Tessellation

@user3146733 Unfortunately not. I wrote a shutdownlistener which kills the remaining Threads. – Yesteryear

Thanks! what did you write in this shutdownlistener ? and where did you call this listener ? – Tessellation

I found similar post when I look around the forum and would share it here. Hope still could help. #9865492 – Ergonomics

can everyone coming here, please subscribe to github.com/javaee/metro-jax-ws/issues/1145 and +1 the issue, so it gets some love. – Hydromancy

Answer 1

You can go to the tomcat application manager and find the application stop the application first. and then shut down the tomcat server.

That is not the point: Stopping the application from within the manager will cause the server to hang because there are ThreadLocals still allocated. I need a shutdown hook for the WSSpringServlet. – Yesteryear
