Question

I’m reading the source code to the Smack api and the the method XMPPConnection#disconnect looks like this:

public void disconnect(Presence unavailablePresence) {     // If not connected, ignore this request.     if (packetReader == null || packetWriter == null) {         return;     }      shutdown(unavailablePresence);      if (roster != null) {         roster.cleanup();         roster = null;     }      wasAuthenticated = false;      packetWriter.cleanup();     packetWriter = null;     packetReader.cleanup();     packetReader = null; } 

In my scenario, I am storing a live XMPPConnection inside a class called Session. A separate thread of execution will attempt to close my instance of XMPPConnection by calling Session#shutdown(). As I see it, I will have to cooperatively tell Session to close the XMPPConnection by acquiring a mutex or something. Correct?

Looks like it’s a known bug.
