Spring scheduler shutdown error

Question

During development a SPRING based scheduler in a tomcat container, I always get this logoutput at undeploy webapp or shutdown server:

Apr 28, 2010 4:21:33 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService stop
INFO: Stopping service Catalina

SEVERE: A web application appears to have started a thread named [org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean#0_Worker-1] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.

SEVERE: A web application created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.springframework.core.NamedThreadLocal] (value [Prototype beans currently in creation]) and a value of type [null] (value [null]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed.

How can I fix this?

thank you stevedbrown

I add this listener to my webapp

public class ShutDownHook implements ServletContextListener {
    @Override
    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
        BeanFactory bf = (BeanFactory) ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
        if (bf instanceof ConfigurableApplicationContext) {
            ((ConfigurableApplicationContext)bf).close();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
    }
}

and my web.xml

<listener>
    <listener-class>pkg.utility.spring.ShutDownHook</listener-class>
</listener>

but the error is still there.

spring config:

<bean id="run" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.MethodInvokingJobDetailFactoryBean">
    <property name="concurrent" value="false" />
    <property name="targetObject" ref="scheduler" />
    <property name="targetMethod" value="task" />
</bean>

<bean id="cronTrg" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
    <property name="jobDetail" ref="run" />
    <property name="cronExpression" value="0/5 * * * * ?" />
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean" destroy-method="destroy">
    <property name="triggers">
        <list>
            <ref bean="cronTrg" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

Answer 1

You need to add a shutdown hook - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1827212/registering-a-shutdown-hook-in-spring-2-5.

In your case, you probably should add a context listener to your webapp that does this (web.xml entry for the listener + implementing class).

Use close, it's easiest.

((YourClass)yourObject).close();
