[Cppcms-users] Shutdown issue

[Sab <rim...@gm...>]

Hallo Artyom,

I am running the cppcms::service in a separate thread. When the calling thread 
restarts, I would also like to restart the cppcms service. On restart, I am 
calling service.shutdown() from the main tread that executed it. I see the log 
before the shutdown call but the log after the call is not printed -> I suspect 
that the function hangs up because after the application exits the process still 
keeps running in the background. This is my application’s main:

(Sorry for the code formatting...)

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{
. . .
do
{
. . .
//start WebService
WebService webService(connector);
LOG_MAIN << "Starting the WebService thread";
boost::thread webServiceThread(webService);
. . .

while ( system.IsRunning() && !shutdownSignalReceived )
{
. . .
}

//stop WebService
LOG_MAIN << "Stopping WebService...";
webService.ShutDown();
webServiceThread.join();
. . .
} 
while (runState == Common::Devices::Run::Reload);
}

------------------
My WebService class:

void WebService::operator()()
{
try
{
. . .
m_service = new cppcms::service(serviceConfig);
m_service->applications_pool().
mount(cppcms::applications_factory<MainWebHandler>
(m_connector));
m_service->run();
delete m_service;
}
catch(std::exception const &e)
{
LOG_MAIN_ERROR << "WebService exception: " << e.what();
}
}

void WebService::ShutDown()
{
try
{
cout << "Shutting down WebService..." << endl;
m_service->shutdown();
cout << "Shutting down WebService finished." << endl;
}
catch(std::exception const &e)
{
LOG_MAIN_ERROR << "WebService exception: " << e.what();
}
}

---------------
I don't get any error or exception. As mentioned I see the log “Shutting down 
WebService...” but I don’t see “Shutting down WebService finished.” that’s why I 
think the service doesn’t shut down properly so the thread keeps running in the 
background.

Do you see anything wrong with my code?
