[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-407) Ensure that connectors that handle end user request start late in the server start process

[Brian Stansberry (Commented) (JIRA)]

Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-407:
--------------------------------------

The specific problem we historically faced is a socket being opened on port 8009 (or 8080) before all webapps were deployed. Result is a non-mod_cluster LB starts routing requests that receive a 404.

> Ensure all connectors that handle user requests have appropriate behavior with respect to not starting until the overall server start is in a state where the connector can handle the expected requests.
> Part of this is understanding how the clients work; i.e. for some connectors clients may never send a request that the server can't correctly handle. For others, e.g. web connectors fronted by mod_jk or most hardware load balancers, once the connector is started, it may start receiving requests for apps that are not deployed.
> This is somewhat related to graceful shutdown, where the connector should stop handling requests at the appropriate point in a shutdown process.
