I have a class which has an init-method defined in xml

```
<bean id="appStarter" class="com.myapp.myClass" init-method="init" destroy-method="destroy"/>

```

myClass:

```
public class myClass{

    private Thread t;

    public void init() {

             t = new Thread() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    while (true)
                        try {
                            doStuff();
                            Thread.sleep(1000);
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                }

            };
            t.start();
        }

public void destroy() {
        t.interrupt();
    }

}

```

When the app starts, these threads run fine, and everything works just fine
and after sometime i get the following exception.

```
INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already.  Could not load com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.  The eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

```

in the doStuff method:

```
public void doStuff(){

Session sessioned = Session.getDefaultInstance(System.getProperties(),
                null);
        Store store = sessioned.getStore("imap");
        store.connect(hostName, userName, password);
.
.
.

}

```

I don't know why, any ideas ?
