Catalina log

Hi, 
  when Tomcat is under load from an Apache httpd server (through mod_jk and ajp13) and I shutdown it, I get NullPointerException:

^C
23-ago-2010 11.06.47 org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Protocol pause
INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-9080

        at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProtocol$AjpConnectionHandler.process(AjpProtocol.java:385)
...

I think the stopping of the Coyote AJP Connector doesn't work. In fact, if you go with jconsole on MBean Catalina->Connector->8009 and do "Stop" on "operation tab", nothing happens.

To reproduce this bug:
 * Download Tomcat 7.0.2 
 * Confingure an Apache httpd with a JkMount /examples/*
 * Use ab to generate request (ex:  ab -c 3 -n 1000000 "http://localhost/examples/jsp/jsp2/el/basic-arithmetic.jsp")

Thank you,
 Domenico Briganti

The NPE you are seeing is a side-effect. The root cause is bug 49497.

JMX not having any obvious affect is a separate bug. The connector is stopped (the state changes) but nothing is logged and it will continue to work since there is a mis-match in the state transitions between the Connector and the underlying ProtocolHandler.

I have a patch for the start/stop issue but I want to take a closer look at the Connector & ProtocolHandler life-cycles to see if I can align them.

This bug has been fixed in 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.3 onwards.

Note: There is scope for further re-factoring to align the protocols and the endpoints with the new life-cycle code in 7.0.x.
