Bug 38020

Summary: www/jakarta-tomcat4: stop tomcat via java -jar bootstrap.jar stop

Description ari.suutari 2002-05-13 07:10:00 UTC 
When tomcat is installed with ports/www/jakarta-tomcat4 port, it uses
daemonctl.c to manage execution of JVM. When daemonctl is used to
stop currently executing tomcat, it does this by issuing kill -SIGTERM
to tomcat process. This causes tomcat to stop immediately, without
normal shutdown activities, like unloading servlets etc.

Fix: 

The shutdown should be handled by issuing command "java -Dcatalina.home=path-to-catalina-home -jar bin/bootstrap.jar stop". 
This causes tomcat to unload servlets gracefully and then stop.
Maybe the current "stop" command of daemonctl.c could be renamed to "kill" or "abort" and "stop" could execute the command above.
How-To-Repeat: Install tomcat4 via www/jakarta-tomcat4 port, start it and then stop it.

With znerd's permission, I'm doing a cleanup of his PRs as he is not active on  
the FreeBSD ports front for now.  

Over to the FreeBSD Java community.

An rc script was committed to tomcat 4, 4.1, 5, and 5.5 
which improves on the shutdown process. 

The new process uses bootstrap.jar to initiate a clean 
shutdown.  After a default timeout of 10 seconds, the 
tomcat process will be killed. 

This is configurable using the tomcatXX_stop_timeout rc 
variable.  Please see the rc scripts for details. 

Thanks for your submission!
