Robbie Gemmell commented on QPID-3784:
--------------------------------------
The change itself looks reasonable, but I agree with keith we should document
the property in the guide. Also, there have been various code updates since the
patch was created (my bad) including some to field accesses that mean the patch
needs updated. Finally, QpidTestCase provides system property
setting/unsetting utilities, I think the test would look cleaner if it was
updated to use those.
> Add special JVM environment variable to run dispatcher thread as daemon/non
> deamon depending from its value.

> Dispatcher thread needs be set daemon/non-daemon depending of new
> configuration option to allow manipulating this behaviour.
> Historically, for the 0-8/0-9/0-9-1 client the use of Mina kept the
> JVM alive when a MessageListener was set, allowing asynchronous
> delivery to continue without the user having taken any explicit action
> to keep the JVM alive. Since we removed Mina this is no longer the
> case, and if there are no non-daemon threads then the JVM will now
> exit even though the user has set a MessageListener set. Investigating
> other providers suggests the typical behaviour is to make use of
> non-daemon threads by default, preventing this happening, but allowing
> users who desire that behaviour to configure it as such.
> For example, tibco seem to do exactly what I am proposing with their
> Dispatcher threads:
> https://docs.tibco.com/pub/enterprise_message_service/6.1.0-august-2011/doc/html/tib_ems_api_reference/api/javadoc/com/tibco/tibjms/Tibjms.html#PROP_DAEMON_DISPATCHER
> ActiveMQ seems to control this through transport options, defaulting
> to non-daemon threads with an option to reconfigure it:
