I have a remote application that correctly receives filtered notifications (JBoss 3.2.3). Here is the pertinent code:

 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
 server = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");
...
 Listener listener = new Listener(this);
 Filter filter = new Filter();
 server.addNotificationListener(oname, listener, filter, null);

I had assumed that the server would detect when my application exits, that on exit I would not need to explicitly 'removeNotificationListener' for all listeners. This doesn't seem to be the case since after my application exits, the next time the server tries to notify, I get the trace below for each listener that I had added. The problem does not happen when I 'removeNotificationListener' for all listeners before exit.

Do I always need to explicitly call removeNotificationListener? If not, how do I solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,
John Emerson
