Java agent thread problem

Hi there,

i got a problem with my java agent.

The agent gets a noteId, reads some items and then starts a thread using sametime to send information about these items to a recipient.

But, the if the java agent ends, it always also kills the sametime thread. The java debug console creates following output:

java.lang.ThreadDeath

at java.lang.Thread.stop(Thread.java:1007)

at java.lang.ThreadGroup.stopHelper(ThreadGroup.java:684)

at java.lang.ThreadGroup.stop(ThreadGroup.java:667)

at lotus.domino.AgentLauncher.run(Unknown Source)

at lotus.domino.NotesThread.run(Unknown Source)

Error cleaning up agent threads

So is there a possibility to avoid, that the ending agent thread also kills the other thread?

thanks for all hints

alex

Hi Alex,

When the Agent is terminated then all of the threads created by it are terminated as well when it’s stopped (the agent launcher waits a maximum of 500ms before it stops the other threads) - is it possible to encapsulate the sametime code you mentioned in another agent and start that from your existing agent?

I don’t understand why i should call another agent with the sametime code. This only moves the problem from one agent to another.

At the moment, i let the java agent wait until the sametime communication finished. But the waiting agent blocks the notes client.

I’m no notes developer (this is for a university project), but i thought, the java agent has his own thread and therefore will not block the UI of the Notes client. I’m confused.
