shutdown james
Hi all,
I have 2 questions about shutting down james. I hope somebody can help me.
1) I want to shut down james from my mailet if it don't initialize
properly. I tried with System.exit(1), but it don't work.
Some suggestion how can I do it?
2) What happens with all opened SMTP connections if I stop james? Is
james waiting until the connections are closed or it closes the
connections?
If james closes the connections - how, what message takes the SMTP clients?
Thanks!
Regards,
Angel

Try throwing a MessagingException from your init method.

James closes connections. It does not wait, for example. for existing DATA
commands to complete. HOWEVER, James 2.2.0RC2 does have changes in the
spooler. If there is activity in the spooler, James will let each spool
thread complete processing the message it currently has before shutting down
the spooler. IIRC, that is the only place where we'll hold up a service for
existing processing before doing a shutdown.

Does James hang, does it continue to run and just not process messages,
or anything behavior is helpful. Also, what OS/James version/JDK version?

Hmmm... I believe James closes all connections straight away, though
this may have changed. SMTP is a very robust protocol so other servers
will happily retry. As clients, they would get a disconnect message.
It's actually an interesting matter for the connection pooler... how to
handle shutdown, and I could see this wanting to be different for
different installations. Maybe Noel or someone more up to date on this
could shine some light on this.
