Thats not correct in all cases. If the framework is still starting-up and you call system.exit inside an activator we might deadlock for example. You would need to disable our shutdown hook for this to work. Anyways, using System.exit seems the wrong way to solve this. regards, Karl > Best approach is to properly shutdown and report any issues you run into so > we can try to diagnose and/or correct them. > > -> richard > >> Pat. >> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Karl Pauls [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
