[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-417) SearchFactoryImpl close method is not called on application undeployment, leaving file handles open to indexes

SearchFactoryImpl close method is not called on application undeployment, leaving file handles open to indexes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-417 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-417 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 3.1.1.GA Environment: Hibernate 3.3.1.GA, Oracle 11g, Weblogic 10, Spring 2.5.6 Reporter: Hal Deadman I have an application that does manual index builds periodically and when I undeploy the application I can still see all the file handles to the lucene indexes open (using sysinternals process explorer). The close method on SearchFactoryImpl is never called on application shutdown. I was able to make a disposable spring bean that calls something like: SearchFactory searchFactory = Search.getFullTextSession(session).getSearchFactory(); ((SearchFactoryImpl ) searchFactory).close(); and that caused the file handles on the indexes to be closed. I think the hibernate search objects need to clean up after themselves when the hibernate session factory is shut down. The close method is called in the cleanup method for FullTextIndexEventListener but that doesn't appear to get called with my configuration, possibly because the application does manual index builds?
