[Tomcat-users] tomcat starting even after port is in use

Yes, but only when you provide some basic information such as exactly
which Tomcat version you are using.

I am using tomcat 5.5.27 and problem is that even tomcat got exception due
to port in use it initialized my servlet I mean called init function.

thanks

Not sure how to avoid that on Tomcat 5.5.27, but if you could move up to 6.0 or 7.0, you can set the following system property to true:

org.apache.catalina.startup.EXIT_ON_INIT_FAILURE

The doc is at the end of this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/systemprops.html

is there any way I can achieve this in 5.5.27

thanks

Not via configuration, as far as I know. You could change the code at lines 501-508 in org/apache/catalina/startup/Catalin.java from this:

// Start the new server
if (server instanceof Lifecycle) {
try {
server.initialize();
} catch (LifecycleException e) {
log.error("Catalina.start", e);
}
}

to this:

// Start the new server
if (server instanceof Lifecycle) {
try {
server.initialize();
} catch (LifecycleException e) {
if (Boolean.getBoolean("org.apache.catalina.startup.EXIT_ON_INIT_FAILURE"))
throw new java.lang.Error(e);
else
log.error("Catalina.start", e);
}
}

to match the updated code in 6.0.x, allowing use of the system property. Or just upgrade your Tomcat.
