I am running the Tomcat that gets delivered with your Eclipse download (no, I don’t want to download and install the entire Tomcat), and sometimes it hangs when stopping or restarting, and the only way I can find to make it work is restarting all my Eclipse. I am using it under Windows.
Is there any way to kill the Tomcat process (which doesn’t appear in the Task Manager)?
It appears as
javaw.exein task manager. An alternative is to executeTomcat/bin/shutdown.bat.As to the hang problem, are you sure that your webapp isn’t spawning unmanaged threads which might be blocking Tomcat’s shutdown?
