Created attachment 898574 [details] Tomcat7 catalina.out on windows Description of problem: The issue is only on Windows platform. Tomcat7 - catalina.out contains warning and errors (after shutdown) ... SEVERE: The web application [/docs] appears to have started a thread named [SeedGenerator Thread] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. .... see attched catalina.out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: start, stop EWS 2.1.0-ER1 Tomcat7 on Windows platform. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I have complained upstream that these shutdown messages are annoying (and mostly useless). However, I haven't managed to convince people to tackle existing ones, only avoid adding more of them.
This is a long running effort, however.
Created attachment 909914 [details] Tomcat 7 patch
Created attachment 909915 [details] Tomcat 6 patch (if needed)
If possible, it would be best to not address this, upstream has refused these patches and would like to keep warn level at least for all these "clear" methods.
How about this David, will we have these patches in ER4 or CR1 ? What do you suggest Remy to apply these patches in attchment or not ?
I have no idea what "info" is "needed" here ... Either you use the patch or you don't, it's up to you, upstream has said it is not a bug, it's a feature [to detect leaks].
Somebody should decide this how our tomcats should behave. John Doyle, Jean-Frederic ?
I think they should behave like the ASF tomcat do this should be documented as a known issue.
Ok. Mandar, please document this as known issue.
