org.jboss.Shutdown not doing complete shutdown

[guy_rouillier]

I'm running "org.jboss.Shutdown localhost 8282" (with a classpath set appropriately) from a batch file in Windows. JBoss does indeed shutdown. However, I just compared the server.log file when using this batch file to one generated when I use ctrl-C to force JBoss to shut down. The batch file Shutdown stops all the data sources and then the MailService successfully, but that is it. In the ctrl-c log, I see over 300 additional lines of stopping and destroying (which I won't post as a favor to readers.) Of most concern is that I don't see any of the destroy methods being invoked with the Shutdown approach. Is this working as designed? Is this a problem?

Which version of JBoss are you using?

It should be same. Your method does a
System.exit(0) which is the same as control-c
Both run the ShutdownHook.

This is on JBoss 2.4.3. I can send complete logs if desired.

[adrian.brock]

Can you attach them to the forum?

Can you post the batch file as well?

Ok, file attached. See read.me.

Ok,

It doesn't work :-(
I tried your .bat file which just invokes the
shutdown MBean, no problem there.

The problem is in org.jboss.Shutdown.java

It has been fixed in jboss3.0
Instead of doing System.exit(0);

It now does (the new thread must be important)
[pre]
new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
log.info("Shutting down the JVM now!");
Runtime.getRuntime().exit(exitcode);
}
}.start();
[/pre]

Thanks for looking into this. Will this fix make it into 2.4.5?

[adrian.brock]

It will if you raise it as a bug on sourceforge ;-)

Ok, bug 536633 created. Thanks, Adrian.

Thw thread just allows the method to return. The impl which does not thread will shutdown, but will leave the client hanging and then finally disconnected.

It also fixes this problem.
I've back ported this to 2.4.5 and shutdowns cleanly.
This might be another Windows/JVM funny. I didn't
try it on Linux.
