Why doesn't Tomcat shut down when I run shutdown.bat (or shutdown.sh)?

Alex Chaffee One possibility is that if you disabled the Apj12 connector in your
server.xml you have also disabled the mechanism by which Tomcat shutdown is
executed -- try putting that back in if you've commented it out. (Thanks to Craig McClanahan from the Tomcat User Mailing List.)
