Notification of RA removal

[dansalt]

Hi,

Platform: JBoss-4.0.3

I'm currently implementing a JCA Resource Adapter that provides additional functionality for software load balancing. As part of this, when the ManagedConnectionFactory starts up, it establishes a number of "real" connections to the underlying EIS that are then allocated to ManagedConnections (using the chosen LB Algorith) when requests are made by users of the Adapter.

My question is, is there a mechanism (either within the JCA spec or JBoss implementation) to receive a notification when the Resource Adapter is removed. Preferably I'd want to receive this in the ManagedConnectionFactory, or any class that can indirectly call the MCF. In this way, I can then cleanly close and tidy up the "real" connections.

Many Thanks,
Dan Salt.

... funny how the answer always comes to you 5 seconds after you hit the "send". Well, maybe.

Am I right in now thinking that I should be providing my own implementation for the JCA 1.5 interface "ResourceAdapter" so that I can write my own "stop()" method and do the work there?

Okay, so that solves half the problem - can anyone help me with the rest.

For some reason, the ResourceAdapter.stop() is only called when the RA is undeployed, not on ApplicationServer shutdown.

I've searched on the forums for this (search under ResourceAdapter stop shutdown) and found nothing.

There is a post on another forum for another AS that has the same problem, and it is cited as a bug, is the same true for this case?

Cheers,
Dan.

It works for me.

Change: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossJCAMessageInflowExample

to have

 public void stop()
 {
 log.info("Stopping", new Throwable("StackTrace"));
 for (Iterator i = activations.entrySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();)
etc.

And then I get:
