INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already.  Could not load META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.  The eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

could some one please guide me as to what mistake i am committing here. i am not sure if i would need to paste the source code as well.

Answer 1

This because of you are deploying new instance of your application to server but the some thread or connection of previous instance attempts doing some business logic you have written. That's why, the main part of JVM called ClassLoader informs you about "Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already" and throws appropriate exception ... You can switch off auto deploy feature of Application Server which preferable on Production Environment and after deploying application restart server manually. Or you can in Class level control Servlet Life Cycle :))) during "pre deploy" close all connection or stop some threads. Or use sophisticated way controlling Threads with ManagedExecutorService. Good luck!!!
