How to execute code on deasctivation of a module?

[Steve Gerstner [bridgingIT]]

Hi 

in a plain felix environment I can use @Deactivate to define a method which is called on the deactivation of the service.

How can I achive this for a JIRA component?

Regards

There are a few options, some better than others depending on what you are trying to do.  Be aware that when any of these things happen, part of your plugin may already be gone, so it isn't always safe to communicate outside the module that is shutting down.

• Define your component as a DisposableBean (from Spring) and use the destroy method.
• Register an EventListener for PluginModuleDisabledEvent.
• In JIRA 7.0, LifecycleAware from SAL will get an onStop() method.

There are probably others, but those are the ones I generally use, and for most purposes I find DisposableBean to be easiest.
