Hello, I have a custom singleton endpoint which manages a resource used by all consumers created by this endpoint. I open and close the resource in the start() and stop() methods of the endpoint assuming that this way I would prevent illegal states, i.e. the resource is closed, but a consumer is still active and tries to read it.
However, I found out that Camel shutdowns an endpoint when a route is removed which reads from the endpoint. This is a problem when there are more than one routes reading from this endpoint as it results in the following sequence: [routes 1 & 2 are consuming from endpoint X] 1. route 1 is removed - producer 1 is stopped. - consumer 1 is stopped. *2. endpoint X is stopped.* 3. route 2 is still active and consumer 2 tires to access the closed resource. A comment above the ServiceHelper.stopAndShutdownServices(route.getEndpoint()) invocation inside the org.apache.camel.impl.RouteService.doShutdown() method where the shutdown happens says: "// endpoints should only be stopped when Camel is shutting down // see more details in the warmUp method" However, this is not the case. Is this a bug or I'm missing something? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Route-removal-triggers-endpoint-shutdown-tp5764796.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
