Tomcat shuts down automatically

Question

I\'m using Apache and Tomcat on a Windows server and since this morning, Tomcat stops working without any logs. It doesn\'t hang, it just shut down.
There\'s no log in T

Answer 1

Are your servlets or one of it's dependencies allowed to call System.exit()? (Not sure how locked down Tomcat VMs are in that sense)

I've had developers thinking it's ok to use exit(666); on detecting a non-invertable matrix (which isn't good, but sure as heck not fatal). Arrgh. Perhaps you have some similar culprit in your system?
