Hi Thomas, On 24 Sep 2014 at 08:58:56, Thomas Mortagne (thomas.mortagne@xwiki.com(mailto:thomas.mortagne@xwiki.com)) wrote: The idea is to use this only for special cases (like DB shutdown) since in the majority of cases the component dependency order would be enough. So in these few cases it’s quite easy and similar to Macro priority (which hasn’t proved to be a problem so far and is working well). Yes I thought about this but I wanted something a bit more generic. See at the end of this email though. Yes I had also thought about this one but discarded because it means finding all components using indirectly XWikiStoreInterface and modifying them all. This means a lot of places (since a lot of places use the XWiki class for example) and a lot of work. I also find it a lot more complex to implement than a priority order which seems really the most simple solution.

These 2 alternatives are ok but they are a lot of work and could be done in the future. I was trying to find a solution that can be applied in 1/2 day right now. We need to fix our bug now and I fear we’ll just not do anything if we wait for 2.2 and 2.3 (which we can do on the longer run).

Since you don’t agree about priority and since I’d like to fix the shutdown “bug” for 6.2.x and on 6.3M1 now, I’m proposing the following alternative for now: * Introduce a new constructor in the ApplicationStoppedEvent class: ApplicationStoppedEvent(boolean afterDispose) * Modify XWikiServletContextListener.contextDestroyed() so that it sends the ApplicationStoppedEvent(false) before calling cm.dispose() and it sends the ApplicationStoppedEvent(true) after calling cm.dispose() * Keep HibernateShutdownEventListener but make it listen to ApplicationStoppedEvent(true) This will ensure it’s called after all components have been disposed.

WDYT? Acceptable? Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

Ok, so after some discussion with Thomas: * I agree that solution 2.3 is nice and we should probably go towards it in the future * I need a quick solution that can be committed for 6.2.1 As a conclusion I’ll implement the @DisposePriority annotation for now (it’s simple to do, I have it done actually). Then in the future we’ll be able to either keep it or deprecate it in favor of a better solution.

So any code accessing the DB will get an error once the connection pool is stopped. This is why we get a lot stack traces when you ctrl-c XWiki quickly after it starts (i.e. when the init is not finished or when SOLR is still indexing). You can also get stack traces if a watchlist is being sent or some scheduler job is executing for example. >>>> >>>> There are 2 ways to fix this: >>>> - solution 1: all code that accesses the DB could check if an XWiki shutdown is in progress and don’t generate stack traces if this is the case >>>> - solution 2: stop the DB as the last thing, after everything else has stopped >>>> >>>> Obviously solution 2 is much better. >>>> >>>> I’ve started implementing it by doing this: >>>> - Remove the current HibernateShutdownEventListener since this is executed first during shutdown, before component disposal >>>> - Instead have XWikiHibernateStore implement Disposable and move the content of HibernateShutdownEventListener in that method >>>> >>>> This works already better but it’s not enough since ECM.dispose() works out the component dependencies but this works only for explicit dependencies and doesn’t work if a component uses the ComponentManager to dynamically find implementations (as this is the case for example for DefaultSolrIndexer). >>>> >>>> Thus in order to help the component disposal process, I propose to introduce a new annotation: @DisposePriority(int). >>>> >>>> Note that an alternative would be to introduce a new Disposable interface with a new getPriority() method in it (we cannot modify the current Disposable since that would break backward compat). >>> >>> It's always hard to know what priority to put exactly so this is last >>> resort solution for me. >> >> The idea is to use this only for special cases (like DB shutdown) since in the majority of cases the component dependency order would be enough.
