Hi -
I saw a tomcat thread issue on the forum, but it did not have an answer
to my question.
JRuby on Rails (2.1.1), Tomcat (6.0.18)
I have successfully deployed a JRuby app to Tomcat that starts a new
thread, here is the code:
Thread.new {
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new
scheduler.cron “0 2 * * *”, :tags => “sov” do
#do some stuff
end
ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections!()
}
This works well. However, the next time I deploy, I get an exception
in catalina.out after Tomcat undeploys my original app and the Thread
is still alive and tries to access the environment, but it’s been
undeployed. See stack below. The new app deploys, but the old thread
is still out there. Looks like the unschedule method in the
rufus-scheduler gem fails because it can’t find the app. So I end up
with old threads hanging out there. Only solution is to restart tomcat,
which isn’t a great solution. Is there anyway to force this thread to
die?
I do a kill -3 after redeploying and I can see the new and old threads.
I believe this to be a tomcat issue in how it handles java threads. It
just hangs on to them, and eventually PermGen is full. Please offer any
ideas. Thanks.
