New error in jb3.0.3 when shutting down server

[tbauer]

Just migrated from jb3.0.0 to jb3.0.3 and got everything working properly, but when I use /bin/shutdown.sh to bring down the server I now notice a NULLPOINTER exception being thrown by jbossweb...Any clues to what may be happening and how I can fix this??

Here's the log:

It looks like someone is calling up a JSP page as Jetty is shutting down - definitely not a good idea.

I didn't write the shutdown code. Could it be this that is calling up a page and then that page shutting down the whole server ? If it going through the JMX console, then this is probably what is happening.

I would not consider this a problem with Jetty. It is a problem with the way this page is implemented. It should perhaps spawn a background thread which shuts everything down after the initial request has been handled.

You should check all this out and if it turns out to be the case, register a bug report on the JBoss project at SourceForge.

I DON'T call JSP pages directly!! All jsp's are served from controller servlets like (context.getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/modifyFacUserForm.jsp").forward(req, res);)...

Since I am still in development, I start/shutdown the server a lot and this is happening EVERY time I shutdown the server...and yes, I'm sure there are no clients available to be hitting the server...I'm the only person using the system...

If the shutdown jar is using the JMX console to do the shutdown, then it is using a JSP, as this is what the jxm-console.war is built with.
