Server shutdown on errored startup

[jrw]

I have startup code in an MBean that attempts to connect to a MySQL database. If that connection to the database fails I would like to terminate the JBoss server. There is no point in running our app if the database is not available.

I have tried calling System.exit(0) from my MBean. This causes the JBoss shutdown to start, but then the server hangs to the point where it will not respond to a CTRL-C. A Runtime.halt(0) does work, but I need a more gracefull shutdown.

I do not believe the typical remote shutdown will work for us since we are using a stripped down version of JBoss.

I am using JBoss version 3.2.3 on Windows XP.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jamie

You can call the shutdown method in the MBean jboss.system:type=Server.

When calling shutdown via JMX I get the error java.lang.IllegalStateException: not started.

Is there a fatal exception I can call which will cause the JBoss startup to fail?

Any other ideas?
