james strachan commented on AMQ-1235:
-------------------------------------

I made an amendment to the patch to check for instanceof Runnable rather than 
RunnableScheduledFuture which is a Java 6 specific class

> Scheduler.cancel uses incorrect argument to shutdown threads

>         Assigned To: Hiram Chirino
>            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
