How to make sure HornetQ Resource Adapter is stopped before HornetQ server

[jmesnil]

Hi,

one of our user reported an issue which prevents the AS server to shutdown properly.

The root cause is that the HornetQ server is stopped first, causing the RA connections to reconnect indefinitely, preventing the server to stop.

It's ok for the RA connections to reconnect indefinitely as they are intra-VM only.

The user proposed a solution to make sure the RA was stopped before the HornetQ server: http://community.jboss.org/message/534116#534116

But I find his solution cumbersome.

Is there a simpler way (e.g. through the MC) to ensure that when stopping the services, the Resource adapter is stopped before HornetQ server?

thanks

This would be done by default if Resource adapter had a dependency on HornetQ server.

<bean name="Resource adapter" class="...">

   <depends>HornetQ server</depends>

</bean>
