DayTrader streamer and web services clients terminate unexpectedly
All...
I'm still working with the DayTrader streamer client and have run into
another issue I cannot explain. Both the streamer and ws app client create
Swing-based GUIs. I am in no way a Swing expert; however, all of the docs
that I have read indicate that the GUI thread should remain up and running
(along with the JVM) after main completes. Here is an example...
public class JFrameExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame("This is a test");
...
f.addWindowListener(new ExitListener());
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
>From what I have seen all Swing apps use some variation of this, as do the
DayTrader streamer and ws app clients.
Unfortunately, when I try to run these clients in under Geronimo 2.0.1, the
apps terminate when the main thread completes. I have added a Thread.sleep()
to the main just to verify that the GUI remains up while the main thread is
still active.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the JVM is terminating with main
while the GUI threads are still active and have not been closed? I've tried
a SUN and IBM JVM and both result in early termination. The only thing I can
think of is that something in the Geronimo client or the manner in which
Geronimo packages the client that is changing the behavior.
Thanks...
Chris

Could you check what happens if you remove the override of
initializeKernel from EmbeddedClientCommandLine? I have only a fuzzy
recollection of my even more fuzzy understanding of how this works
but think that installing the shutdown hook was what kept the client
running until it was actually stopped.

GERONIMO-3436 opened...
In the mean time... I could easily gate the exit of Main using a while loop
conditional based on JFrame.isVisible(). I'm tempted to add this to the
client code in order to get it working. However, we wouldn't be able to
catch this issue in the future, if I do...
Any strong opinions here?

I remember fixing this once....
My guess is that it got broken again when gianny added the bootstrap
repository. A JIRA would be good I think. I suspect if you look
around at the various command line classes you can see the code that
shuts down the client from a shutdown hook and see why it isn't
getting used.
I'll try to find some time to take a look at this if you don't beat
me to it.
