hanging Timer threads ?

[sachten1010]

I am trying to use JBoss messaging 1.4.1 GA ( built-in version from JBOSS 5.0.1 GA)

When i open and close a remote topic connection from a client , i see timer threads running in the client end and they don't seem to clean up even after i disconnect my connection....
( i am using the jboss-remoting.jar from 5.0.1 GA..)

As i keep opening and closing connections from the client, they seem to keep growing.

Is there anything that can be done to clean them up ?

Hi,
Can you try 1.4.3.GA (comes with JBoss 5.1.0) and see if it's still reproducible?
Thanks.

I don't know if am doing this correctly.. But i copied the jboss-messaging.jar (1.4.3 GA) from jboss 5.1 to the existing jboss 5.0.1 lib and ran my client also with the new jar file.

Its still the same. Do i need to use the new remoting jar file or am i totally on the wrong path ??

Thanks..

Yes, you need to use the remoting jar that comes with 5.1.

However, the best way to try is use AS 5.1.

I did use the new jboss-remoting.jar along with the 1.4.3GA messaging jar... It does the same.

I am going to try and use AS 5.1 and see if it still happens.

thanks.

Gao - Thanks for all your help. I used AS 5.1 ( jbm 1.4.3 )
and see that the timer threads go away after i connect/ disconnect n number of times...(except for a few and they don't continue to grow..)

But on the server , i do see a bunch of worker threads created and there are in waiting/blocked state even after i disconnect all the connections from the client.


Any ideas ?
