I have a problem with a web app running on a tomcat7.
When I try to restart the web app, the port opened by a thread I create inside a servlet is still open.
Only finding and killing the java process helps.
I get this error message in the tomcat log:
SEVERE: The web application [/mdm-server-1.0.0] appears to have started a thread named [com.google.inject.internal.util.$Finalizer] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. Nov 26, 2014 1:24:50 PM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader clearReferencesThreads SEVERE: The web application [/mdm-server-1.0.0] appears to have started a thread named [Thread-3] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.
The message seems to lead to a guice problem. I have a Servlet that is supposed to wait for client connections. When the application is re-deployed, the socket remains in use and the java thread survives. May it be that the thread holding the socket cannot be stopped since a depencendy, like the guice finalizer, cannot be terminated? Or am I totally on the wrong road there? The class and its dependencies do not use guice but are part of a webapp.
Here is a jstack output, maybe that helps:

I would be grateful for any help.
