Re: [Wrapper-user] Debugging shutdown actions [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

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

Ben,
When you kill the JVM with the task manager, it is killed immediately.
If you shutdown normally then the Wrapper and your application
will have a chance to run any registered shutdown hooks.  My guess
is that one of those is the cause of what you are seeing.

Shutdown hooks are launched by the JVM, not the Wrapper so I am
not able to give you info to debug them.

One idea is to run in a console, press CTRL-C and then immediately
press CTRL-BREAK to cause a thread dump and see what is running.
That might take a few attempts to see what you want to see.

If you are using the WrapperStartStopApp integration method then
another difference would be the execution of the registered stop
method.

Cheers,
Leif
