[Bug 299866] Re: Tomcat fails to shutdown (can't connect to port 8009)

[Thierry Carrez]

The issue is having Java code connecting to the local system on port
8009... For some reason it needs to resolve the local system name and
will fail to connect to 8009 on incomplete setups.

Your hosts file should contain (by default at Ubuntu install) a "127.0.1.1 hostname.fullyqualified.domain.name hostname" line, for example if your system is named test.mycompany.com you should have the following line:
127.0.1.1 test.mycompany.com test

That way the shutdown code Java can resolve your hostname and connect to
TCP/8009 to tell it to shutdown.
