I've a standalone application that I'm trying to implement a shutdown for. Initially I had this as a very simple Socket listen. However, wanting to put a more proper API in place I'm looking at REST and RESTlet is looking good.
I've got it mostly working. That is, I have something that handles authentication and responds to a PUT request on http://host:port/shutdown. However, whilst this shuts down the various bits of my application, it doesn't shut down the REST server itself so the JVM keeps on running. I tried calling #stop on the Application but that doesn't seem to do anything. I can get it to terminate by calling stop on the top level Component, but that doesn't exit gracefully as the originating PUT handler throws exceptions. Is there a way to gracefully shut everything down in response to a PUT request? -- Sean - Its a conical sort of effort ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=3076917
