Hi Michael, I am slightly ashamed to be putting this out there in the public forum :-X
Here is what the problem was, the threads as indicated by Trustin were initially not daemon. Secondly acceptor that I was calling unbindAll() was not the acceptor what was bound. This lead me to realize that I could use the same acceptor and bind numerous times, and then close just one acceptor! After this was done, the server on receiving a message to shut_down returned from my threads and waited for MINA to exit. It was nothing beyond existential, it was very much poor programming on my part ;-( -U -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bauroth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 3:26 PM To: dev@mina.apache.org Subject: Re: Shutting down a server elegantly Hi Uday, could you please provide me with some more details about your solution?
