About unexportObject

[Victor Pan]

Hi:
When I execute the statement.

 UnicastRemoteObject.unexportObject(factory, true); 

The server didn't stop. There seem to be a thread running. But the return value of this statement is true. After about 15 minutes, the server stopped.
Could you tell me what's the matter?

[Peter den Haan]

Not sure. It could be that RMI still had a lease timer running or something -- after all, this call doesn't say "stop the server", it says "stop accepting calls for this object". What's wrong with System.exit(0)?

Hi Peter
If I code in this way.

 
  UnicastRemoteObject.unexportObject(factory, true); 
  System.exit(0);
 

The server will be stopped immediately. But I am wondering if it is legal.

I also think this is the lease timer of the DGC but why do you want to stop the server?
