Hi: I am using jboss 4.2. I just started using the jboss spring deployer to deploy my spring application. Some of the spring beans my application are configured with destroy-method callback as described here (http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/beans.html#...). When I shutdown jboss, I see in the log that there is a line about destroying the singleton beans: 2008-07-14 11:28:19,418 INFO [org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory] Destroying singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory@17c7988: defining beans [<my app beans>] But I don't think the destroy methods of the beans are invoked (added some log messages but they didn't show up in the log). How should I configure my app for the spring deployer to call the lifecycle methods like init and destroy?
