[Building Sakai] Tomcat not shutting down properly

I'm revisiting this issue as we're going to need the certifications tool
soon.
Recap - when certifications is deployed, a thread lingers after shutting
down tomcat (James is disabled)
We've been working on certification in our msub
(https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/msub/uwo.ca/certification/trunk/)
But this can be reproduced on rsmart's version in contrib.
I've been trying to isolate the problem, and I found that if you remove
the beans:
com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService
and
com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService.wrapped
from
./pack/src/webapp/WEB-INF/components.xml
ie. comment the beans out and remove any references to them from other
beans' properties
-build, deploy, startup, shutdown (all steps are successful)
-'pgrep java' shows no threads
So I figured the culprits are either
com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService or
com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService.wrapped
Then I reverted components.xml
To be sure that the lingering thread wasn't caused by java code or
org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean, I:
-removed the bean definition for
com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService.wrapped
-replaced com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService with:
<bean id="com.rsmart.certification.api.CertificateService"
class="com.rsmart.certification.impl.hibernate.CertificateServiceHibernateImpl"
init-method="init">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="org.sakaiproject.springframework.orm.hibernate.GlobalSessionFactory"/>
<!--<property name="documentTemplateService" ref="com.rsmart.certification.api.DocumentTemplateService"/>
<property name="contentHostingService" ref="org.sakaiproject.content.api.ContentHostingService"/>
<property name="toolManager" ref="org.sakaiproject.tool.api.ToolManager"/>
<property name="sessionManager" ref="org.sakaiproject.tool.api.SessionManager"/>
<property name="securityService" ref="org.sakaiproject.authz.api.SecurityService"/>
<property name="adminUser" value="admin"/>
<property name="userDirectoryService" ref="org.sakaiproject.user.api.UserDirectoryService"/>
<property name="templateDirectory" value="${sakai.home}/templates"/>
<property name="shortenedUrlService" ref="org.sakaiproject.shortenedurl.api.ShortenedUrlService"/>-->
</bean>
-(I believe HibernateDaoSupport will complain without a sessionFactory)
-I replaced CertificateServiceHibernateImpl.java with a simple class
that extends HibernateDaoSupport and implements CertificateService such
that all its implemented methods were empty or returned null.
-build, deploy, startup, shutdown (all steps are successful)
-'pgrep java' shows a lingering thread
So, it seems to me that the existence of the CertificateService bean
(regardless of whether the corresponding .java file has any executable
code) decides whether tomcat can or can't shut down properly, but I
can't find anything special about the bean.
Does that all make sense? I'm new to spring so am I missing something
that can be affected by the existence of this bean? Can it get picked up
somewhere even if you don't add it as a property to another bean?
Thanks,
Brian
