I'm looking into JMS message loss issues during shutdown.  I enqueued several thousand mesages into an ESB application.  While the messages were being processed I toggle(stop/start) lifecycle state for the jms listeners via JMX in order to simulate shutdown.  I noticed periodic warnings in the serverlog (listing 1).  The final tally indicated message loss.  I believe I found a bug in ESB. Basically when a doStop (JMXConsole) is called it sets state to STOPPING and immediately terminates the executor thread (MessageAwareListener.java). If the thread was currently processing a mesage bad things happen. I use transcated queues and it appears the JMS message transaction evaporates and the message is lost. I added some code to AbstractThreadedManagedLifecycle.java to remedy the issue.

 

AbstractThreadedManagedLifecycle.java
---------------------------------------
protected void doStop()
throws ManagedLifecycleException
{
runningLock.lock() ;
try
{
if (isRunning())
{
setRunning(ManagedLifecycleThreadStatae.STOPPING) ;
}
// Dave Siracusa -start
if (!waitUntilStopped())
{
throw new ManagedLifecycleException("Thread still active!") ;
} // Dave Siracusa - end

 

}
finally
{
runningLock.unlock() ;
}
}

 

MessageAwareListener.java
---------------------------
protected void doStop()
throws ManagedLifecycleException
{
super.doStop();
_execService.shutdown() ;
}
