APAR status

• Closed as program error.

  is not cleaned/cleared when the application stops.
  

Local fix

• Adding a mapping to this servlet in web.xml will be a workaround
  for this issue.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.0 and V8.5                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The servlet's destroy() method is not   *
  *                      invoked for a defined load-on-startup   *
  *                      servlet when no servlet mapping is      *
  *                      provided                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a servlet mapping is not provided for a load-on-startup
  servlet in the web deployment descriptor, the servlet is
  initialized during servlet startup but the destroy() method is
  not invoked when the servlet is stopped.
  Also, the destroy() method is not invoked for the servlets
  that are served using serveServletsByClassName.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Webcontainer code is fixed to correctly invoke the
  servlet's destroy() method.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
