Scheduler.cancel uses incorrect argument to shutdown threads
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1235
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1235
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1
            Reporter: Alex Burgel
            Priority: Critical


looking at the code from 4.1.1 in org.apache.activemq.thread.Scheduler, in the 
cancel method:

the Runnable task argument is passed to clockDaemon.remove(). i think this is 
incorrect. ScheduledFuture ticket should be passed to clockDaemon.remove().

the javadocs of ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.remove discuss the possibility that 
Runnables might be stored in some other form internally, so calling remove with 
a plain Runnable might not do anything. I think the solution is to call remove 
with a ScheduledFuture, which is how they are stored internally in 
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.


i came across this bug after upgrading to the java 5 version of 
backport-util-concurrent 3.0. that version makes more assumptions about the 
types that are passed into ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.remove, so when you pass 
in a regular Runnable you'll get a ClassCastException.


this is trivial to fix, so i don't think a patch is necessary. also i think 
this might address the memory leak mentioned in AMQ-1205
