Timothy Bish commented on AMQCPP-407:
-------------------------------------

The scenario shown above shouldn't happen as the ActiveMQConnection should go 
through the close() cycle when the destructor is called if it hasn't already 
been closed.  During the close the Transports have their close method called 
which eventually reaches IOTransport::close.  The IOTransport will stop its 
dispatch thread which is the thread that's calling the onException method via 
the registered ExceptionListsner.  In IOTransport close the dispatch thread is 
joined which should halt ActiveMQConnection close until such time as the last 
onException fire is finished.  So the solution here is to determine what is 
causing this to not happen.

Adding a get / set  synchronization won't likely help here or worse will make 
the problem even more random and therefore much harder to reproduce and fix.  
The issue being that a synchronization is only serializing the get / set 
operation on exception listener, so if your scenario above is indeed happening 
there's still nothing stopping the event firing from reading the exception 
listener before another thread sets it to null.  Locking the entire onExcption 
callback chain will most likely lead to an unexpected deadlock as the code 
attempts to deal with errors from the exception thread which will be holding 
locks that block the other threads accessing the ActiveMQConnection and 
associated resources.  

Mutex's are often treated as a panacea for threading problems.  

If you can readily reproduce this then I'd advise stepping into the IOException 
close method or adding some console output in there to see if the close is 
bypassing the Thread join because of some other exception.  One solution could 
be to use a finalizer class in there to ensure that the thread is always joined.
