Seeing RejectedExecutionException occasionally when calling the jboss-cli repeatedly in JBoss EAP 6.3 CP3

Environment

• Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
  • 6.4 CP1
  • 6.4.0
  • 6.3.3

Issue

• We have a script that calls jboss-cli over and over, the command completes successfully, but occasionally we see this RejectedExecutionException :

Exception in thread "Remoting "cli-client" task-6" java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException: Task org.jboss.remoting3.remote.RemoteConnectionChannel$3@4ac0499d rejected from org.xnio.XnioWorker$TaskPool@162108c2[Shutting down, pool size = 2, active threads = 2, queued tasks = 0, completed tasks = 5]

• jboss-cli.sh command sometimes returns a "task rejection" exception after it completes.

Resolution

The RejectedExecutionException can be ignored when seen from a jboss-cli call. It is happening during shutdown and does not affect the cli call. This will be fixed in JBoss EAP 6.4 CP2 .
