Terminating mvn spring-boot:run doesn't stop tomcat

Question

I can successfully start spring-boot with mvn spring-boot, the documentation mentions to gracefully exit the application hit ctrl-c.

Terminate batch job (Y/N)? Y

The maven process does terminate but Tomcat is still running and I can still hit the web-page. When I try to start spring-boot again it fails to start Tomcat because the port is in use.

To proceed I have to manually terminate the running process. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Answer 1

It still happens to me on version 1.1.9 running on windows 7.

So after hitting Ctrl C. The fastest way to kill the background java will be .

Find the java PID

     c:\>netstat -ano | find "8080"
     TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1196
     TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING       1196
     c:\>taskkill /F /PID 1196
     SUCCESS: The process with PID 1196 has been terminated.

I am assuming in the example above that you are running on http port 8080

For Mac Users:

     $lsof -i :8080
     COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
     java    SOME_PID user  417u  IPv6 0xa4b3be242c249a27      0t0  TCP *:name (LISTEN)
     kill -9 SOME_PID

Answer 2

Here is what I do on Mac:

kill `lsof -i -n -P | grep TCP | grep 8080 | tr -s " " "\n" | sed -n 2p`

It finds the PID using 8080 and kills it.

Answer 3

Edit: in ubuntu, use the command:

fuser -k 8080/tcp

to kill the process. I'm using spring-boot 1.3.0-Build-snapshot and the problem still persist. My SO is Ubuntu and the problem occurs either running from Eclipse or from the console. The discussion about this issue is here. This seems to be an issue with spring-boot libraries, at least concerning tomcat libraries. I'm also in the line for the this fix. Unfortunately this is the price we pay for trying to use cutting edge technologies until they get matured.

Answer 4

For those using Eclipse, this is by far the best answer:

Open "run configurations", edit the maven launch you defined for your project, and under the "JRE" tab, add -Dfork=false to the VM arguments text area.

Then when you hit the red stop button, the tomcat server will stop and your ports will be released.

Answer comes from a post here on Github by jordihs

Answer 5

In IDEA you have to Stop process before Run it again. That command will shut down embedded Tomcat.

Answer 6

I know i am too late to answer but may be some one get help with this. STS users can use the Relaunch button rather than Run to ensure that any existing instance is closed.
For Reference :
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-running-your-application.html

Answer 7

That only happens in Windows. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/773

Update: should be fixed now.

Answer 8

I fall in the same issue, but there is a much better and simple way to run your Spring boot app that does not have this problem.

Run As -> Java Application

Update: Furthermore, if you use Spring STS (available for VS Code, IntelliJ, Eclipse...) you have the chance to manage your application from the Boot Dashboard. It's really useful.

Answer 9

I've had this problem when running spring boot app from netbeans 8.1 on Mac. The java process was not terminated when I hit red square button in netbeans so when I relaunched the app I always get "bind exception, adress already in use" thing. This is known bug.

The solution was to add spring-boot:run command to run goals of project...

...and also if you get "No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups" you might need to add this to dependencies:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.5.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>spring-releases</id>
        <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>

    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Answer 10

I encountered same problem running SpringBoot application in eclipse on Mac. I manually had to find all the PID's using 8080 and kill them. But, fortunately, I realized that we can kill that tomcat instance right from the eclipse "console" view, by hitting the stop(Red square icon) button and run the spring boot application again.

Answer 11

You cause a shutdown by calling curl -v -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/shutdown provided you configured spring-boot properly.

To support this you will have to update your application properties. This is partially described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/26563344/58794 .

updating application.yml by adding:

management:
  security:
    enabled: false
endpoints:
  shutdown:
    enabled: true

or updating application.properties by adding:

management.security.enabled=false
endpoints.shutdown.enabled=true

Once called

$ curl -v -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8091/shutdown

Answer 12

This solution worked for me with Spring Boot v1.x und works now, with v2.x:

hangingJavaProcessToStop=`jps | grep Application | awk '{print $1}'`
echo "hangingJavaProcessToStop: $hangingJavaProcessToStop"
kill -9 $hangingJavaProcessToStop

This way you can kill specifically Spring Boot's Application Java process instead of killing all Java processes at once. I assume if your Spring Boot "Application" (main method containing class) is called differently, you must use its name instead of Application.

I am running the snippet above, on my Windows machine using WSL/Debian. I am not using PowerShell or Windows'command line.

Answer 13

If you are using NetBeans you can stop the server or process by clicking on the cross icon in the bottom right corner where it says Run (Project name).

Answer 14

Yes this is correct that when you do a maven install with spring-boot-run and after the application is stopped, tomcat port still listens.

I am attaching a screenshot for those who faced this problem port/address already in use. What you have to do is before running the spring boot application again,just go to your windows Task manager and end the Process named "Java(TM) Platform SE binary" and run your boot application your port would be free of the process and you wont get the issue again.(You don't have to do this after you run your application for the first time ) It worked miracle for me. Hope it helps Good day

Answer 15

For Powershell, put the following code in a file ending with '.ps1' $processes = (get-NetTCPConnection| ? {$_.LocalPort -eq "8080"}).OwningProcess foreach ($process in $processes) {Get-Process -PID $process | Stop-Process -Force}

Answer 16

We can kill that tomcat instance right from the eclipse console view, by hitting the stop (Red square icon) button and Red button beside the run icon, run the spring boot application again.

Answer 17

I had the same issue in Windows 10, wenn I was running mvn spring-boot:run in a Cygwin Terminal. I wasn't even able to find the Tomcat process in Cygwin using ps -ef; I had to search for the process in PowerShell using netstat -ao.

Using mvn spring-boot:run in PowerShell is working fine for me.

Answer 18

Type the following commands in order.

$ ps -ef | grep -i java
$ kill -9 3361
