Filter.destroy() exceptions break application undeployment ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWEB-257 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-257 Project: JBoss Web Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Core Affects Versions: JBossWeb-2.1.12.GA Environment: -JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 5.1.2 and earlier Reporter: Aaron Ogburn Assignee: Remy Maucherat Attachments: destroy-linkage-error.war JBoss does not handle any exceptions from custom Filter.destroy() implementations. This is passed on to the JBoss container and disrupts the undeployment so the app is not successfully undeployed. That causes a potentially critical issue as the application is no longer deployed at that point, but it can't be redeployed due to conflicts with the prior incomplete undeployment. The server has to be restarted to be able to deploy the application again. The broken undeployment could be fixed at the container level if org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterConfig.release() caught exceptions thrown by Filter.destroy()
