> When creating a LdapNetworkConnection, a 'NioThread' is created as a 'User-Thread' that handles network IO. This thread lives for as long as the connection is not closed.
> If the connection is not closed this will prevent the JavaVM from terminating, which may be somewhat unexpected, since this behaviour is not explicitly documented.
> My suggestion would be to change the io-Thread's type to be a 'daemon' thread. That way, not closing an LdapConnection would not prevent the JavaVM from terminating.
> example code snippet:
> {code}
>   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
>   {
>     LdapConnectionConfig cfg = new LdapConnectionConfig();
>     cfg.setLdapHost("myHost");
>     cfg.setLdapPort(389);
>     cfg.setName("myUser@myHost");
>     cfg.setCredentials("myPassword");
>     
>    LdapConnection conn = new LdapNetworkConnection(cfg);
>    conn.bind();
>    //the JavaVM will never terminate, because the connection was not closed!
>   }
> {code}
