Hi Fred,

I can confirm most of what you are seeing - will look at the best way to handle the scheduler case - might make more sense for it not to be static. The [Timer-0] thread - I'm not seeing that - though I'm working from trunk

cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

FWIW here is the ThreadExplorer class: http://pastebin.com/f1aa2a099

Do you actually call stop() on the broker ?
Yes.

Have you disabled the shutdownHook from the broker ?
No, we just did it but nothing has changed.

In the meantime we experimented further and we were able to shutdown one of the lingering threads -- "[ActiveMQ Scheduler]" -- by using this snippet to
our code:

Scheduler scheduler = Scheduler.getInstance();
scheduler.shutdown();

After doing this the other lingering thread -- "[Timer-0]" -- did not go
away, but at least we discovered that this timer is JMX related: if we
disable JMX connector the timer disappear.

Unfortunately we really need JMX connector, so this is causing a bit of a
problem... any clues anyone?

Cheers,
F.

PS: ...http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1214 "threads not
stopping causing memory leaks which can lead to OutOfMemoryError" ...sounds
related to this.

oops - sry Fred - read your first email too quick - could you post the
ThreadExplorer class too ?

thanks,

Hi Rob,

If you could post your code - or sample of it - might help
identify why your main isn't shutting down


I actually did... can you access this pastebin here:

Hi folks,


we have a 5.3.0 embedded broker that refuses to shutdown cleanly because
of
lingering threads.

We reproduced this with a very very basic configuration: with just vm &
jmx
connectors, no producers and no consumers and and this extremely simple
main() program: http://pastebin.com/f2784245a that:

1\ Starts up an embedded broker

2\ Waits for the user to press a key

3\ Stops the broker

4\ Monitors (polling every few seconds) the number of lingering threads

What we experience is that after step 1\ (broker startup) this is the
list
of active threads...

* [main] Group: main
* [ActiveMQ Scheduler] (Daemon) Group: main
* [ActiveMQ Data File Writer] (Daemon) Group: main
* [Timer-0] (Daemon) Group: main
* [JMX connector] (Daemon) Group: main

...but a long time (dozens of seconds) after step 3\ (broker shutdown)
these
threads are still active:

* [main]  Group: main
* [ActiveMQ Scheduler] (Daemon) Group: main
* [Timer-0] (Daemon) Group: main

Questions:
Q1\ Are we missing something obvious?
Q2\ Is there a better way to shutdown an embedded broker?
Q3\ Doing it the hard way via system.exit() is going to get us into
worse
troubles? (data corruption & co)

Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
F.
