Question

Is it possible to throw an exception from JBOSS which will terminate the process? I don’t want to do something as crude as system.exit but the code our code runs as a plugin in a larger infrastructure and I want to check some states at startup and exit out of the system if data is missing.

It’s probably message to use the ModelControllerClient to connect to the server and execute the :shutdown command.

Something like:

final ModelControllerClient client = createClient();
try {
    final ModelNode op = new ModelNode();
    op.get(ClientConstants.OP).set(":shutdown");
    op.get(ClientConstants.OP_ADDR).setEmptyList();
    final ModelNode result = client.execute(op);
    if (result.get(ClientConstants.OUTCOME).asString().equals(ClientConstants.SUCCESS)) {
        // Do some there
} finally {
    try {
        client.close();
    } catch (Exception ignore) {
    } 
}

If you’re just shutting down you could probably ignore the outcome.
