I hope this is the correct place to raise this.
I was looking for an Application method I could override that would be
executed when the servlet container shuts down (I have some
ExecutorServices that need to be stopped)
I couldn't find such a method, so I've worked around the problem by
implementing my own ServletContextListener and exposing the
ExecutorServices through a static accessor. Something like this:
@ApplicationPath("/") public class MyApplication extends Application {
public MyApplication() {
LifecycleListener.getExecutorService();
...
}
}
@WebListener public class LifecycleListener implements
ServletContextListener { ... }
Has adding an Application.shutdown() hook to JAX-RS been discussed
before? Is there another way I ought to be doing this?
