How to close a prunsrv service propertly in spring?

Question

I'm using apache prunsrv service to install a jar as a windows service. When the service is shut down, the application crashes.

set PR_STARTMETHOD=main
set PR_STOPMETHOD=exit

My startup and shutdown class looks as follows:

public class TravelportMainApp {
    private static ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ctx = SpringApplication.run(source, args);
        ctx.registerShutdownHook();
    }

    public static void exit(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        if (ctx != null && ctx instanceof AbstractApplicationContext) {
            ((AbstractApplicationContext) ctx).destroy();
        }
        Sysout("EXIT OK.");
    }
}

Result: the exit command "EXIT OK" is printed, but then the command line app crashed saying "commons daemon service runner is not working anymore.". What could be wrong here?

Answer 1

I ended up as follows:

public static void exit(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    SpringApplication.exit(ctx);
    System.exit(0);
}
