    Description

      We're getting the following Tomcat errors on shutdown:

      SEVERE: The web application [/claro-ar] appears to have started a thread named [Thread-639] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.

      SEVERE: The web application [/claro-ar] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [java.lang.ThreadLocal] (value [java.lang.ThreadLocal@a5d04a6]) and a value of type [org.jgroups.protocols.TP.ProtocolAdapter] (value [session (21)]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

      SEVERE: The web application [/claro-ar] created a ThreadLocal with key of type [java.lang.ThreadLocal] (value [java.lang.ThreadLocal@a5d04a6]) and a value of type [org.jgroups.protocols.TP.ProtocolAdapter] (value [claro-ar (21)]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

      This happens every single time on shutdown. This seems to be related to the current TUNNEL implementation. In TP.ProtocolAdapter:

      // kludge, only used by TUNNEL
      static final ThreadLocal<ProtocolAdapter> thread_local=new ThreadLocal<ProtocolAdapter>();

      In TUNNEL:

      // TODO JGRP-1194 - Revisit implementation of TUNNEL and shared transport
      ProtocolAdapter adapter = ProtocolAdapter.thread_local.get();

      Since we do not use TUNNEL, we would appreciate this feature could be turned off, as it affects webapp hot redeployment.
