Hi, i have a cluster implemented with three nodes and Running fine with around 30 applications deployed on Sun OS. now a days, i can see one instance is causing problem and applications are not accesible when the request went to particular node. I see the below stack trace in server logs. INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | 12:14:48,878 INFO [WebappClassLoader] Illegal access: this web application instanc e has been stopped already. Could not load org.jboss.net.protocol.jar.Handler. 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. INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | 12:14:48,878 ERROR [[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | java.lang.ThreadDeath INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.j ava:1221) INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:299) INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/12/06 12:14:48 | at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164) The remaining two nodes in the same cluster will process requests during the time.... The affected node only active after restart... Can any one help me, why i am getting this "java.lang.ThreadDeath" exception and how to resolve this.
