Another option is to make the service task async. The thread pool that executes the async jobs does a graceful shut down when the process engine is closed. Of course a kind of 'barrier' as you describe could also work, but I'm unsure if a volatile property is the best way to do that).

The ProcessEngines.destroy() will close() all process engines it knows of.
