[jira] [Commented] (DIRAPI-149) LdapNetworkConnection should not create user-Threads

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-149?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14198113#comment-14198113 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRAPI-149:
------------------------------------------

OTOH, if the thread that uses the LdapConnection is itself a Daemon thread, then the MINA threads will inherit the daemon status.

>             Project: Directory Client API

>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0-M18
>            Reporter: Christian Cwienk

> 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}
