[aspectj-users] pointcut on termination of java program

[Jan VAN BESIEN <Jan.VanBesien@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I would like to do something (close an OutputStream) when a program exits. 
In a single threaded application, it is possible to write:

private pointcut main () : execution (public static void main (String[]));
after () : main () {
	//do something
}

But when the application is multithreaded, the end of the main method does 
not imply the end of the program. I've been looking in "the java language 
specification" and other documents to see if there is (for example) some 
methode that's always called near the ending of an application... but I 
have not been able to find anything.

any ideas on a pointcut to capture the join point "the end of the program"?

thanks in advance,
Jan Van Besien
