I like the idea.  I'd add that it would be nice to use a scheme such as linux 
does for startup / shutdown with a letter designator and a number in the rc.n 
directories.  That scheme allows a lot of flexibility and control as well.  I 
also like the runLast / runFirst idea but there can only be one first and last 
:)

Subject: [jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-657) Running configurations not saved on

> The shutdown hook for FileConfigurationList doesn't run because it gets 
> unregistered during the kernel shutdown process. That's because the 
> ConfigurationManagerImpl shutdown hook gets run FIRST, knocking the feet out 
> from under any other shutdown hook registered by a GBean. This hook tells all 
> loaded configurations to stop. When the FileConfigurationList  gets the 
> doStop(), it dutifully unregisters it shutdown hook to save the active 
> configurations. The FileConfigurationList hook never runs. 
> 
> One way to solve this problem is to ensure the ConfigurationManagerImpl 
> shutdown hook runs last. To do this, we could define a shutdown hook 
> ordering, such as adding a "priority" parameter to the Kernel's 
> registerShutdownHook method. Something like:
> 
>    /**
>     * Registers a runnable to execute when the kernel is shutdown
>     * @param hook a runnable to execute when the kernel is shutdown
>     */
>    void registerShutdownHook(Runnable hook, int priority);
> 
> Using an int would be a quick way, and we could define two priorities, LOW 
> and HIGH and ensure the ConfigurationManagerImpl  uses LOW. Or we could use 
> an enumerated priority object type. Either way isn't terribly clean because 
> the GBean has to have a good idea of what order its shutdown hook should run, 
> and really we only need to assure that stopping all configurations is 
> performed last rather than needing the other shutdown hooks to run first. 
> Perhaps we could add a boolean "runLast" parameter instead of a priority 
> parameter, and those with true would be added to the end of the shutdown hook 
> list, while those with false would be added to the front.
