Re: AW: [equinox-dev] Question on programatic close of the runtime
|
Why are you using the -console option? Seems like you would not really want something on a cluster to be running in console mode. I am wondering who actually would run commands on this console. I suggest you look at the org.eclipse.osgi.framework.console.ConsoleSession service in 3.6 if you need a remote console for which you want more control over. When you register a ConsoleSession service a new console will be started for your ConsoleSession. You will have control over what provides the input and output for the console session (use System.in/out, use a socket, provide a web UI, provide a console RCP view etc.). Then when you want the session to end you simply unregister your ConsoleSession. If a bundle provides the console session service then the session will automatically get cleaned up when stopping the system bundle because all bundles will be stopped which causes all services registered by bundles to be unregistered.
Unfortunately the built-in console session that gets used with the -console option does not automatically close when the framework is shutdown. This is because we have some support in the console for running commands even after the framework has shutdown and we leave this session open for that purpose. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279562 for more details.

AW: [equinox-dev] Question on programatic close of the runtime |
Hi all,
our application (BTW: we are talking about SMILA) is a backend server, with instances running on a cluster. What do you suggest to remotely shutdown the OSGi instances on each cluster node?
We cannot expect an administrator to log on every machine and to exit the OSGI console by typing "close".
Therefore I had the idea to provide this functionality via HTTP. So it's an external call that stops bundle zero and after a configurable timeout calls System.exit() (hopefully giving the runtime enough time to savely stop all bundles). So the System.exit() is done on purpose by an administrator.
One way of connecting remotely would be to use telnet and then send a close command to the OSGi console. But this is cumbersome. Is this "safer" than my approach as after Framework.close() this does also call System.exit() ?
Bye,
Daniel

Tim,
I agree but it's a matter of who is responsible for doing this. The
launcher code that created the framework and started it should be
responsible for shutting down the VM, after calling
Framework.waitForStop(). If a bundle calls System.exit() then it is
assuming too much about the environment in which it is deployed.

Bundles may have started non-daemon threads. If you have started Equinox with the console enabled that would be difficult and you continue to have a process lingering around and no OSGi framework.
