I am running a Java service to poll data from database. In my class, I have a thread, which looks for data in db every 5 seconds... At particular time(say like 6 PM when out of business hours), i make my thread to sleep to some configured time delay.

Problem: when I make my thread to sleep, it seems my Java service is restarted... Why am I getting 4, 5 JVM launched... Please help me to understand....

Wrapper software communicates with your started JVM very often and checks whether it's alive or not. When you make your application sleep, that communication fails and the wrapper notifies the process hung and attempts to restart it. To avoid this you have to configure the wrapper.ping.timeout in your wrapper conf. To avoid timeout set the property to "0".

Check more details on ping timeout- wrapper.ping.timeout configuration

If you have any timeout issue in the start up of the application (The default timeout value is 30 seconds) Change the value in wrapper conf to "0" in order to avoid restarting application. wrapper.startup.timeout=0

Check more details on startup timeout - wrapper.startup.timeout configuration
