amqp thread prevents app from shutting down

[slyfox]

Amqp functionality is working perfectly in my application except when I wish to shut it down. I configure amqp entirely in xml and do not see how to stop the thread that it is working on. I know its the amqp thread because of the name:

Thread[AMQP Connection 127.0.1.1:5672](Running)

If while in debug I right click and terminate the thread the application shuts down, other wise I must manually stop in eclipse.

I do no see anything in the docs or forum about shutting this down.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Bobby

How are you loading the context? If you are doing so programmatically as a stand alone app for example:

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext( "spring-conf.xml" );

Make sure you register a shutdown hook so when the JVM goes down it allows Spring to destroy its beans.

context.registerShutdownHook();

Alternatively, you can also close it manually when you are done with it:

context.close();

I hope it helps.
