Description

It seems like the shutdown hook is not working properly in all situations.

Here is a use-case when it fails:

• One distributed cache, using RMI
• Two webapps deployed on the same Tomcat instance sharing the cache.

If the CacheManager instances are not explicitly shutdown before stopping the Tomcat instance, an exception is thrown (once for each webapp) and the Java process doesn’t finish.

Exception in thread “Multicast Server Thread” java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.ehcache.distribution.MulticastKeepaliveHeartbeatSender$MulticastServerThread.createCachePeersPayload(MulticastKeepaliveHeartbeatSender.java:138) at net.sf.ehcache.distribution.MulticastKeepaliveHeartbeatSender$MulticastServerThread.run(MulticastKeepaliveHeartbeatSender.java:107)

Attached is a minimal IDEA project for reproducing this (excluding the jar-files that didn’t fit).
