Re: [Wrapper-user] Shutdown Hook Security Queston

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Emory,
    Going back and rereading that, it isn't very clear is it.   I had 
written that a long
time ago and to be honest am not sure what I was thinking at the time :-/
    I think the "security" issue would be cases where user code in a 
Tomcat container
or something were to call System.exit.   This would make sure that the 
server came
back up.

    That example would be much better implemented using the 
wrapper.on_exit.<n>
properties however.

    I modified the documentation for the next release to try and clear 
this up.

    Cheers,
    Leif
