Failed to Unregister DataSource JMX MBean While Shutting Down a Spring Boot Application

Question

I have a simple Spring Boot application using org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource as dataSource bean.

The data source is exposed as MBean automatically by Spring boot.

The bean declaration:

@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
    BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
    dataSource.setUrl(dbUrl);
    dataSource.setDriverClassName(jdbcDriver);
    dataSource.setUsername(dbUserName);
    dataSource.setPassword(dbPassword);
    return dataSource;
}

Everything works fine . However, I see error while shutting down the application. This error only occurs when running the executable jar. When using Gradle Spring plugin (gradle bootRun), this is not shown.

I am wondering, 1. How does this bean get exposed as JMX MBean? 2. How to properly unregister this MBean?

Answer 1

Spring is trying to close BasicDataSource twice:

1. BasicDataSource close itself automatically when application close
2. Spring use default destroy method to close DataSource but it's already closed

To avoid this, use:

@Bean(destroyMethod = "")
public DataSource dataSource() 

In your Java Configuration
