IV37554: THE JVM EXITS ON A LOG OFF EVENT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: The customer had registered shutdown hooks and
  found that they had run - the JVM had closed down - on a Windows
  log off event.
  .
  Stack Trace: N/A
  .
  This problem is not seen with earlier service refreshes for all
  the releases. This is however not a regression.
  

Local fix

• The -Xrs option can help ignore the log off event. However, with
  this option the shutdown event would also be ignored. It is not
  feasible to use this as a work-around if the application
  registers shutdown hooks with the JVM.
  

Problem summary

• The JVM shuts down on a CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT because this event was
  translated into "termination" on the Windows platform - while
  this is valid for normal console based processes,
  non-interactive services should be allowed to survive across a
  Windows log off event.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.0 SR14
  6.0.1 SR6
  7.0.0 SR6
  .
  On the receipt of the CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, we will now check if
  JVM is running as a non-interactive service and ignore this
  signal if it is.
  

Temporary fix
