graceful shut down of JMS

tomdee Oct 2, 2004 6:09 PM

is there a way to gracefully shut down jMS in 3.2.1 ?

my situation is that i have a large number of queues , a number of
JMS listener as well as various MDBs.

We have a way to divert new request away from our JBoss servers but
wanting a nice way to tell JMS to
a) stop firing messages to MDB
b) gracefully shutdown the JMS Consumers

Thanks.

I don't know if JBoss JMS behaves cleanly if you shut it down in the middle of processing.

You can probably get some idea by shutting down JMS in the middle of a load test.

If you want the server to stay up during JMS processing, you have a couple of options. One is to shut down the services in the "jms" directory by renaming it to "jms#" or through JMX. You can also shut down various services (e.g. UIL2 server, MDB.stopDelivery, Queue.stop(), etc.) through JMX. It is easy to try these things via the JMX console.

If what you want to do can't be done through JMX, let me know.

Connection.setExceptionListener, the MDB already has one.
