Mark Zeldis commented on FELIX-4837: ------------------------------------ I don't work or use this project, but I did track down and workaround this webstart bug for myself. I figured I would share since this is one of the rare places that mention it. It's a nasty hack so you should only really use it if you have no other choice. Unfortunately I need it. private static void evilEvilWebstartHack(){ //this is the hack of a lifetime here. //there is a bug that arrived sometime around the mid java7 releases. shutdown hooks get created that shut down loggers and close down the classloader jars //that means that anything we try to do in our shutdown hook throws an exception, but only after some random amount of time try { Class clazz = Class.forName("java.lang.ApplicationShutdownHooks"); Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField("hooks"); field.setAccessible(true); Map hooks = (Map)field.get(clazz); for (Iterator it=hooks.values().iterator(); it.hasNext();){ Thread thread=(Thread)it.next(); if ("javawsSecurityThreadGroup".equals(thread.getThreadGroup().getName())){ it.remove(); } } } catch (Exception e) { } } > Workaround for JNLPClassLoader in ShutdownHook > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-4837 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4837 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Framework > Affects Versions: framework-5.0.1, framework-5.6.1, framework-5.6.4 > Environment: all > Reporter: Nicolas Roduit > Assignee: Karl Pauls > > This a workaround of the issue that I submitted on > https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054639 > The Java Web Start classloader doesn't support to have anonymous classes or > enum within the shutdown hook. > The patch below allows to stop all the bundles correctly when calling > m_felix.stop() in the shutdown hook.
