[Ace-users] [tao-bugs] Notify_Service naming service cleanup

[Hans Utz]

Hi,

       TAO VERSION: 1.5.10
       ACE VERSION: 5.5.10

       HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM: Linux RH WS 4
       COMPILER NAME AND VERSION (AND PATCHLEVEL): gcc 3.4.6

       THE $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h FILE:
         config-linux.h
       THE $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU FILE:
         platform_linux.GNU

       AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED: Notification Service

       DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:
            EXECUTION

       SYNOPSIS:

On shutdown Notification Service cleans up the naming service reference 
of the notify-factory, but not any channels generated due to command 
line options.

     DESCRIPTION:

This behavior looks inconsistent to me. I assume, that in a persistent 
setup, with reconnect capabilities we might not want to clean up any 
reference in the naming service at all. But if we clean up the factory 
reference, we might as well clean up the references to generated channels.

Speaking of cleanup: Would it make sense to destroy all created channels 
before exit in a non-persistent setup? If I understand it correctly, 
this would call disconnect on all consumers and suppliers, giving them a 
chance to do something about the fact, that the service is about to be 
no longer available.

Cheers,
Hans
