[omniORB] OmniEvent Thread question

[Alex Tingle]

Hi Thierry,

Each EventChannel has at least one thread. A second thread (the 
ProxyPushSupplierManager) is started if you call 
ConsumerAdmin::obtain_push_supplier(). The only way to stop these 
threads is to destroy the EventChannel.

You say that you've 'disconnected' all of the channels. I assume that 
you've disconnected all of the proxies. If you've really finished with 
an EventChannel then you should call EventChannel::destroy(). If you 
destroy() the channel, then there is no need to disconnect each proxy - 
it is all done for you.

EventChannel::destroy() does the following:

  o disconnect all currently active proxies.
    (Your Suppliers & Consumers will get the disconnect
     callback if they registered for it.)

  o terminate the channel's (one or two) threads.

  o deactivate the EventChannel, ConsumerAdmin, SupplierAdmin &
    Proxy objects.

  o free the channel's memory.

Hope that helps.
