Helloł, I notice that after unbind I cannot create new connection (ie. from a browser) but old, alive connection can still send requests. Am I missing something? Please no bold to highlight question, it looks scary :-)
That's exactly how it works, by design. I did notice however that we do not have a shutting down section for the low level API, we should add that - thanks -> https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/20177 Would be awesome if you'd perhaps step up and help contributing a beginning of that docs section :-) Just looking at http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.2/java/http/server-side/low-level-server-side-api.html#starting-and-stopping I guess I do the right thing. but I cannot understand a fragment from http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.2/java/http/server-side/low-level-server-side-api.html#Closing_a_connection, "The HTTP connection will be closed when the handling Flow cancels its upstream subscription". Should I manually close connection after unbinding? that would be strange, I just want to unbind and shutdown, closing all live connections. No, it's not strange for two reasons: a) it's "unbind" which means "release that port, I won't be accepting anything new on it", and it also it is b) the behaviour one wants for it's called graceful shutdown – serve the people that already sent you requests, and stop accepting new ones, then shut down. The "shutdown now and drop everything on the floor" can already be achieved in a rather brutal way – killing the ActorSystem, however the feature is on our radar however it's a new feature: shutdownNow on github. For injecting "external termination" intro streams, we have KillSwitch prepared which will likely ship with 2.4.3. -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso’ Malawski Akka @ Lightbend -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
