Hi, Should StandardCluster.stop() throw a LifecycleException?
StandardCluster.stop () does not throw a LifecycleException when stop () is invoked on an instance which has not been started. A message is logged but then the code proceeds and a NullPointerException could result. (I don't understand this class well enough to say whether this is really a bug or not, I could well be missing something here...) -Janek /** * Gracefully terminate the active use of the public methods of this * component. This method should be the last one called on a given * instance of this component. * * @exception IllegalStateException if this component has not been started * @exception LifecycleException if this component detects a fatal error * that needs to be reported */ public void stop() throws LifecycleException { // Validate and update our current component state if (!started) log(sm.getString("standardCluster.notStarted")); try { multicastSocket.leaveGroup(multicastAddress); multicastSocket = null; } catch (IOException e) { log(sm.getString("standardCluster.leaveException", multicastAddress)); } if (debug > 1) log(sm.getString("standardCluster.leaveGroup", multicastAddress)); lifecycle.fireLifecycleEvent(STOP_EVENT, null); started = false; // Stop the background reaper thread threadStop(); } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
