I am looking for an interceptor or a trigger to know that, all the context beans are destroyed and the applicationcontext instance is about to destroy itself. So I can do one process at the end of the application lifetime.

There is this event type ContextClosedEvent, which is close to the thing that I wanna do but, it throws the event after destruction of beans. I thing it comes with the close() method of the applicationcontext. So it doesn't fit to my need

Any ideas?

Regards

Ali

  • Out of curiosity, `ClosedContextEvent` [means](http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#context-functionality-events) that at this moment there are no alive beans in the context, so, what are you interested in achieving? Isn't this actually what you need? – nobeh Jun 05 '12 at 20:54
  • it is firing itself at the beginning of the disposal process. Like, for ex, at the beginning of context.close(). I want it at the end of it – Neron Jun 13 '12 at 06:41
  • Please read once more the link I provided. It exactly means the way you need. – nobeh Jun 13 '12 at 06:59

You can use registerShutDownHook() method of the abstract application context class. For more details have a look at this.

UPDATE

Then you should try @PreDestroy annotation on top of the method where you want to run something in the end when the spring context is about to destroy.

Hope this helps you. Cheers.

  • Is there any decent sample for this usage? because, the samples that I have seen are not providing to link a method. Is there any basic usage sample like this? – Neron Jun 06 '12 at 05:12
  • Please check the below link for example. http://www.roseindia.net/tutorial/spring/spring3/ioc/registershutdownhook.html – Japan Trivedi Jun 06 '12 at 05:28

    I am looking for an entry point to run something in the end when the spring context is about be the destroyed. This sample is not something like that – Neron Jun 06 '12 at 05:57

    They are all bean based solutions dude, I need to override context disposal mechanism of spring I think. I solved it depend-on attribute but , it is not a good solutions of course. I am still lookin for a new one – Neron Jun 12 '12 at 08:12

Create a bean implementing SmartLifecycle, with a getPhase returning Integer.MAX_VALUE. Its stop() method will be executed before any other stop or destroy methods. You can there do cleanup on every resources in living beans.




    @Component
    public class Terminator implements SmartLifecycle {

        private boolean started = true;

        @Override
        public void stop() {
            // CLEANUP CODE
        }
        @Override
        public void stop(Runnable callback) {
            stop();
            callback.run();
        }

        @Override
        public int getPhase() {
            return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        }
        @Override
        public boolean isAutoStartup() {
            return true;
        }
        @Override
        public boolean isRunning() {
            return started;
        }

    }
