I’ve tried Handle (“handle -p tomcat8.exe”) but found nothing suspicious (I see open Logfiles and Jar-Files and a few more). Actually, the Gateway I’ve created points to a Directory with only one file in it. I’ve also rebooted the server - no success.
The issue can always be reproduced in the following way: Let’s assume, there are two Sites set up in IIS (I’m using mod_cfml by the way): Site A has a DirectoryWatcher gateway defined in it’s web context; Site B hasn’t. I start up Tomcat. If I only call pages on Site B (without gateway), Tomcat will be stopped immediately from the Service Manager. If I start up Tomcat and call a page from Site A (with gateway), Tomcat cannot be stopped. If I start up Tomcat and don’t call any page, Tomcat can be stopped as well…
If you want, we can also schedule a TeamViewer session so I could show the demo “live”?
