I test in cmd to run shutdown.bat to shutdown my jboss directly. in my case it  takes about 80 seconds. so I think it's long enough to shut down the jboss before the alert dialog popup. it will be very appriciate if anyone can explain me what is the cause of the problem and how to resolve it. thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/590602#590602] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
