Tomcat Server Closes with JFrame Application

Question

When I open my JFrame Application, and decide to close it this application of mine closes together with my tomcat server... I suspect is the "System.exit(0);" in my JFrame application that causes it.
Can anyone tell me what I should do to my JFrame application so when I closes it, it will not close my Tomcat server at the same time.
Thank You : )

Answer 1

It probably is the System.exit(0); You should remove that.
Tomcat is a container which essentially means it's a sort of "main program" that calls your servlets, JSP programs, etc. as "subroutines". When a subroutine calls "exit", the main program will shutdown.
If you need the JFrame to "exit" when it's being run independently of Tomcat, move the System.exit() call to the "public static void main()" method. Tomcat will never call your class's "main" method, since it uses its own.
