Linux: Release port 8080 after stopping Tomcat – Port 8080 in use by Java
It’s past 3 AM and I finally found out why after stopping my Tomcat server I’m unable to successfully start it again. It seem like Java process won’t go away. To get around that I added the following line to my Tomcat shutdown.sh script:
killall -9 java
and all is well now. Still unorthodox, but works for me. I will write a script to find the process and kill it properly later on.

i think… the java program which is taking over that port is
the common way… well,
how can I say.
Try to disable or shutdown the tomcat first,
then see it again… is it used or not.
hope this might help without killing java program which is still running.
