NPE during broker shutdown when useDatabaseLock="false"
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-1956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1956
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Message Store
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0
            Reporter: Chris Pettitt
         Attachments: BrokerStopFailure.java, 
NoLockerJDBCPersistenceAdapter.java

Steps:

1. Create a broker with the persistence adapter set to not use database locking 
(useDatabaseLock="false")
2. Start broker
3. Stop broker (but keep the process running, as in a servlet container)

Result:

In the logs, I see the following error every 30 seconds:

2008/09/25 15:23:55.506 INFO

Analysis:

During startup, JDBCPersistenceAdapter only initializes the database locker if 
useDatabaseLock if true. This is done through lazy initialization by calling 
getDatabaseLocker (at ~ line 172):

        if (isUseDatabaseLock()) {
            DatabaseLocker service = getDatabaseLocker();
            if (service == null) {
                LOG.warn("No databaseLocker configured for the JDBC Persistence 
Adapter");
            } else {
                service.start();
            }
        }

During shutdown, JDBCPersistenceAdapter calls getDatabaseLocker() to shut it 
down, but it does not check if isUseDatabaseLock() is true in this case:

    public synchronized void stop() throws Exception {
        if (clockTicket != null) {
            clockTicket.cancel(true);
            clockTicket = null;
        }
        if (clockDaemon != null) {
            clockDaemon.shutdown();
            clockDaemon = null;
        }
        DatabaseLocker service = getDatabaseLocker();
        if (service != null) {
            service.stop();
        }
    }

This actually causes database locker to be initialized and it subsequently 
lazy-initializes an executor to run a task which calls keepAlive(...). The 
executor threads are set as daemon threads which prevents this issue from 
showing up when the lifetime of the process is the same as the broker. When the 
broker is deployed in an app server which can outlive the broker then the above 
error is logged every 30 seconds.

I'm attaching one way to solve this problem without having to check everywhere 
if useDatabaseLock="false".
