(UrlyBird) Managing the stop of application with Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook().

[Dmitri Cherkas]

This is mine application logic against reading-writing data from/to database file :

1) application reads data in memory (HashMap) from database file only when :
1_1) button "Execute" is pressed after user set dblocation and serverportnumber on the GUI in "server" mode
1_2) the application is started in "alone" mode;

when the application starts in "server" or "alone" modes (see "1_1" and "1_2" above) i set up a class for managing secure exit as follows : Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(SecureExit());

2) the application writes data from memory (HashMap) to database file only in one point - in the class "SecureExit()" (see above) and "SecureExit()" is not called in my code explicitly (i.e. SecureExit() is activated only by JVM).

is it the right design decision ?
Thank you.

I have implemented something similar.
