Hi core-libs-dev, I've been searching extensively the mailing list archives and JBS, but I cannot find any more information on this topic, apart from the two linked bug reports [1] and [2].
I apologize for my newbie 😊 search skills, can someone please help review the email I sent to hotspot-runtime-dev below. Essentially, no shutdown code runs on normal Windows logoff/shutdown since Windows 7, which I believe was reported as change in behaviour under [1]. I want to point out that the issue has nothing to do with Virtual Machines, the JVM simply doesn't receive the correct events, unless there's an AWT window open. The implementation for WM_ENDSESSION in AWT seems to have a small issue that the java process will terminate regardless of the user changing their mind about shutting down. Thanks, Nikola [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8079631 [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7068835 -----Original Message----- From: David Holmes <david.hol...@oracle.com> Sent: July 23, 2020 11:02 PM To: Nikola Grcevski <nikola.grcev...@microsoft.com>; core-libs-dev Libs <core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net> Cc: hotspot-runtime-...@openjdk.java.net Subject: Re: RFR(s): Support graceful application termination on Windows shutdown/logoff Hi Nikola, I'm redirecting this to the core-libs team initially because this is an issue that has been raised and discussed considerably in the past (possibly with some misunderstanding relating to the WM_ENDSESSION event). The core-libs team need to confirm the intended semantics here and we (runtime) can then implement whatever is determined to be needed. Interaction with the client team for AWT interoperability may also be needed.
