A daemon thread in java is one that does not prevent the JVM from shutting down. Threads that are not daemons will prevent the JVM from shutting down until they terminate.
So, if you want the TCP connection thread to keep the JVM alive until it is stopped, then use it as a don't leave the daemon setting to false. On the other hand, if your JVM may need to terminate while an activemq TCP connection is still active (because the JMS client - ie connection - doesn't shutdown properly), then setting daemon to true will allow that to happen. For robustness, the best thing is to have the client shutdown cleanly. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/daemon-setting-in-TCP-transport-options-tp4676299p4676319.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
