AlexLi,
I assume that "forkato" is a java class that extends class "Thread". I assume "forkato" has a "run()" method. Perhaps you have coded an infinite loop in this "run()" method? When the "run()" method terminates, the thread terminates -- regardless of whether you make it a daemon thread or not. Have you tried using the "forkato" class in a different JVM -- outside of the database? Does it terminate correctly in a different JVM?

Good Luck,
