Stopping Job Executor

arkadi — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 19:48:23 GMT

Is there a way to stop Job Executor <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" /> nicely at webapp context shutdown? We have a listener: public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent servletContextEvent) { if (processEngine != null) ProcessEngines.destroy(); }‍

The job-aquisition-thread will be shutdown gracefully when the shutdown is called, this is done by the ProcessEngines.destroy().


/**
   * Triggers a shutdown
   */
  public void shutdown() {
    if (isActive) {
      log.info(getName() + " is shutting down");
      isActive = false;
      interrupt();
      try {
        join();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        log.log(Level.WARNING, "Interruption while shutting down " + this.getClass().getName(), e);
      }
    }
  }

The current (calling) thread will wait for it to exit clean, could be that job-executor is still running a process, so deamon-thread is not an option. You should call the destroy BEFORE the webapp is actually shut down…
