JBoss shutdown hangs on IBM MQ ServerSessionImpl

Solution Verified - Updated 2 Aug 2024

Environment

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.4.5 and earlier

Issue

We see our JBoss shutdown hang on IBM MQs com.ibm.mq.connector.inbound.ServerSessionImpl.close like so:

"MSC service thread 1-27" prio=10 tid=0x00007fbeec088000 nid=0xee74 in Object.wait() [0x00007fbf3d988000]

Resolution

Upgrade to EAP 6.4.6+

Root Cause

IBM relied on WorkListener.workRejected() calls, which would not occur properly at shutdown and so it would wait indefinitely to halt shutdown
- WorkManager does not call workRejected() on WorkListeners at shutdown
