svn commit: r885901 - in /tomcat/trunk: java/org/apache/catalina/core/ java/org/apache/catalina/loader/ webapps/docs/config/

Author: markt
Date: Tue Dec  1 20:04:17 2009
New Revision: 885901

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=885901&view=rev
Log:
More memory leak protection. Adds support for:
 - optionally stopping threads started by a web app - this is dangerous last resort option for dev environments - not for production
 - clearing ThreadLocals created buy web apps
 - clearing unintentional references in sun.rmi.transport.Target
