It's hard to create an isolated test app, found it hard where to start (a client app that is bit large). But I did some more digging and found the following:
In the unit tests I create a global Spring ApplicationContext and call the method ctx.registerShutdownHook() on the context such that all beans are informed when the jvm is shutdown (Spring uses a separate Thread to monitor the JVM shutdown. I removed the error when I don't call "ctx.registerShutdownHook()" and added "useShutdownHook="false"" to the broker spring config (see: LINKE <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9591203/unable-to-shutdown-embedded-activemq-service-using-the-built-in-brokerservice-st> ). Notes: 1) Other combinations of these settings result in the exception. 2) I am not sure this is correct as currently my beans aren't informed of the jvm shutdown such that they can't do any clean up. 3) If I enable the shutdown hook on the Spring context it will kind of end up in the same exception but through a different path. Spring will call the destory method on the XBeanBrokerService bean, the broker will perform a async stop and try shutdown all TransportConnection instances, see screenshots. <http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/file/n4675222/1.png> <http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/file/n4675222/2.png> 4) If I enable the shutdown hook on the broker, I end like shown in the screenshots. Also an async stop is performed but called through the brokers own hook (a hook in the XBeanBrokerService). <http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/file/n4675222/1.png> <http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/file/n4675222/2.png> I can't really discover something strange as a exception is thrown to inform others (as far as I understand it). I hope this helps to solve it.
