I am facing some issues regarding tomcat startup and shutdown.

I am using

1. Tomcat v.6.0.32 (using the extracted the bundle downloaded from Apache website a

Answer 1

In my scenario to this problem, there were some threads not successfully terminated with shutdown message posted to tomcat, which made tomcat process still hanging around.

So I would start with plain tomcat instance..and keep adding the custom "wars" or changes one by one and make sure to stop tomcat successfully to narrow down the problem.
