Good day, I have almost successfully converted our axis service to an axis2 service. It all works, except stopping the threads that are created by this service. With axis, we used the ServletContextListener destroy method to access the ServletContext.getAttribute("AxisServiceInstance") that was written in AxisService and then call the stopThread() method. I have been having great difficulties in converting this small piece of the project. I have tried to get the MessageContext in AxisService and write the ServletContext.setAttribute("AxisServiceInstance"). The MessageContext is always null. I have placed this Listener in axis2/WEB-INF/lib. The posts that I've been reading make this look so easy. What am I overlooking? Here is a snapshot of my code.
public class AxisListener implements ServletContextListener { public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event){ System.out.println(this.getClass().getName() + ":contextInitialized:context is " + event.getServletContext().getRealPath("")); }//contextInitialized() public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) { System.out.println(this.getClass().getName() + ":contextDestroyed:before destroyThread."); AxisService axisService = (AxisService) event.getServletContext().getAttribute("AxisServiceInstance"); axisService.stopThread(); }//contextDestroyed() } //ServletContextListener public class AxisService { public AxisService() { this.init(); }//Constructor private void init(){ . . . //This is the best that I've found using the posts to date: //set Attributes to be used by AxisListener#contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) MessageContext msgContext = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext(); log.debug(this.getClass().getName() + ":init:messageContext:" + msgContext); //This is Always null //((ServletContext)msgContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETCONTEXT)).setAttribute("AxisServiceInstance", axisService); //Here is what it was: //set Attributes to be used by AxisListener#contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) MessageContext msgContext= MessageContext.getCurrentContext(); (((HttpServlet)msgContext.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET)).getServletContext()).setAttribute("AxisServiceInstance",axisService); }//init() Thank you, April
