The web application appears to have started a thread named [Timer-0] but has failed to stop it

Change your ScheduleConfig to use shutdownNow instead of shutdown as destroy method.

@Configuration@EnableSchedulingpublic class ScheduleConfig implements SchedulingConfigurer {    @Override    public void configureTasks(ScheduledTaskRegistrar taskRegistrar) {        taskRegistrar.setScheduler(taskExecutor());    }    @Bean(destroyMethod = "shutdownNow")    public Executor taskExecutor() {        return Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(100);    }}

I want to share some solutions with root cause analysis of this issue.

For Oracle Users:

Solution#1:

You should remove your Oracle driver from Tomcat's /lib folder.I was facing the same issue and it got resolved.

Note: Let the oracle driver be in /WEB-INF/lib folder.

Solution#2:

You can use real hack by sleeping thread.

@Overridepublic void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent servletContextEvent) {    logger.info("######### contextDestroyed #########");    Enumeration<Driver> drivers = DriverManager.getDrivers();    while (drivers.hasMoreElements()) {        Driver driver = drivers.nextElement();        try {            DriverManager.deregisterDriver(driver);            logger.info(String.format("deregistering jdbc driver: %s", driver));        } catch (SQLException e) {            logger.info(String.format("Error deregistering driver %s", driver), e);        }    }    try { Thread.sleep(2000L); } catch (Exception e) {} // Use this thread sleep}

Resource Link: Solution to “Tomcat can’t stop [Abandoned connection cleanup thread]”

Solution#3:

Svetlin Zarev has told nothing to worry about. It is the standard message of tomcat. He has given root cause analysis like below:

This problem is occurred when an application has started ScheduledExecutor (but this will happen with any other Thread/TheadPool) and didn't shut it down on contextDestroyed. So check if you are shutting down your threads on application/server stop.

Resource Link: Tomcat8 memory leak

Solution#4:

For Oracle users, there are multiple answers in this post: To prevent a memory leak, the JDBC Driver has been forcibly unregistered

For MySQL users,

Solution#5:

Root Cause Analysis with Solution:

The cleanup thread for abandoned connections in the NonRegisteringDriver class was refactored to have a static shutdown method. Memory was allocated but never released. If you encountered this leak problem, implement the context listener in your application with the AbandonedConnectionCleanupThread.shutdown() call in the contextDestroyed method.

This issue was found in applications running under the Tomcat application server, but it might have also applied to other application servers.

For example:

@WebListenerpublic class YourThreadsListener implements ServletContextListener {   public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) {      try {          AbandonedConnectionCleanupThread.shutdown();      } catch (InterruptedException e) {      }   }   ...}

Note that if container does not support annotations, you add the description to web.xml:

<listener>    <listener-class>user.package.YourThreadsListener</listener-class> </listener>

My conclusions after running a few tests based on your codeand researching online:

• There's nothing to worry about (link).Tomcat process is being finished and there's no memory leaks left behind.

• Even if you call something like AbandonedConnectionCleanupThread.shutdown(),you could still get that same Warning (link)

• This warning happens when calling startup.sh and shutdown.sh.When running Tomcat from Eclipse, it doesn't show that Warning.

• Your shutdown method for the Executor is likely being called.For my tests, it was getting called even if I didn't define the destroyMethodfor the executor.

• In this case, this warning is not related to any Spring Scheduling bean.Executors.newScheduledThreadPool returns a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor,which has the destroy method and it is getting destroyed, like I pointed out earlier. You can debug and see it for yourself.

• However, there's somewhere at your code calling new java.util.Timer,which calls new TimerThread(), ass seen from your logging, and as pointed out by @Claudio Corsi.

In order to debug it and if you are using Eclipse,you have to attache the source code for your JDK version.Open the class declaration (hold ctrl and choose open declaration)and click the "Attach Source Code" button. Make sure you have dowloaded theexact same version. You don't even have to extract the zip.If you're using Maven, just hold on a bit that it will download for itself.

Then, place a breakpoint in the constructor for java.util.Timerand start debugging your application.

Edit: After identifying a reference to java.util.Timer, save it (as a bean, if it's not one) and call its cancel method on context destroy.
