[xSocket-develop] graceful shutdown

[Brad M. <br...@br...>]

Hi Guys,

Firstly, I'd like to say what really great technology xsocket is, it 
makes it very easy to do very cool things :)

I'm having a problem getting xsocket to shutdown gracefully. I'm 
starting the server with ConnectionUtils.start( server ), and when the 
application is shutdown i'm calling server.close(). But the port 
continues to be in use so i can't restart my application - even after 
the java process has gone (which i didnt think was possible).

Its very strange. I have to wait between 1 and 5 minutes before the 
socket becomes free and i can start the application again. This problem 
only seems to happen on my server which is running linux 2.6.16. There 
are no other process using that port (confirmed with netstat)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad
