[Freeswitch-users] Threads remain after calling close on Java client

[Hector Geraldino]

Hi Neil,

Can you get a thread dump of the tomcat process to try to figure out what this problem is about? Or at least, try to connect the jconsole to the tomcat process and get the StackTrace of one of these threads to have a better idea of what is going on.

IIRC I've fixed a couple of bugs for this library, but the patches haven't been tested by the main developer (dvarnes)  nor integrated on the repository (freeswitch-contrib). If this problem can be fixed with my patched code, I would be happy to share it with you.

Good luck!

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Threads remain after calling close on Java client

Hi,

I built a web application that connects to Freeswitch using the org.freeswitch.esl.client.Client.  I connect the Client object from a Spring annotated service that I call from a Spring controller.  I put the connected client in my ServletContext, so I can access it later to call client.cancelEventSubscriptions() and client.close() from my ServletContextListener contextDestroyed method when Tomcat is shutting down.

The problem I'm having is that even after I call close on the client, there are still a bunch of active threads that the client has spawned in the background.  These threads are causing Tomcat to hang when I'm shutting down.  Can anyone suggest an approach that would enable my application to disconnect the Freeswitch client when Tomcat is shutting down that would allow Tomcat to shutdown gracefully?

Below are errors from my Tomcat log for the threads that I have identified as being related to the Freeswitch client.  I don't know how I can get to these threads to interrupt them and Client.close() seems to leave them hanging.
