[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-601) Add container lifecycle event fired before container destroys all contexts

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-601?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Martin Kouba commented on CDI-601: ---------------------------------- Yes, sounds better. Maybe even {{ApplicationStopped}}? bq. My original notion was for @ApplicationScoped beans not to be destroyed while other beans still hold contextual references to them... This might be pretty complext, if even possible for non-inject cases ({{BeanManager.getReference()}}, {{Instance.get()}}) and unmanaged contextual instances. What I had in mind when creating this ticket was that it might be useful to introduce some generic event fired *when an application is stopped before all contexts are destroyed* and which would allow a bean to perform cleanup using the dependencies, i.e. fired before {{@PreDestroy}} and {{(a)Destroyed(X.class)}}. [~chrisjr] WRT your use case - your "@Dependent worker bean" would just observe {{ApplicationStopped}} and do all the cleanup ({{@ApplicationScoped}} beans would not be destroyed yet). {code:java} @Dependent class Worker { @Inject Service service; void shutdown(@Observes ApplicationStopped event) { // At this point Service is not destroyed yet, nor is its @PreDestroy called service.doSomeStuff(); } } @ApplicationScoped class Service { @PreDestroy void destroy() { // Perform local cleanup } void doSomeStuff() { } } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
