Hmm, what you describe sounds disturbing and counter to my experience. Opening a jira entry is the first step to getting any bug addressed. Attaching a self-contained junit that can reproduce the problem certainly helps a lot.
One question comes to mind - is a connection pool part of the setup? If so, remember that calling close on the connection returned by the pool does not necessarily close the underlying connection (otherwise, it wouldn't be much of a pool). So, in that case, make sure the pool is being shutdown properly; it should then make sure the connection is shutdown. Again, though, if you can prove a case that closing the connection leaves the transport open, please create a Jira entry - we'll need to get it solved. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/5-8-0-Unable-to-shutdown-embedded-broker-tp4679137p4679141.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
