Description

Bugtraq ID 6275172

Reggie sends a final multicast packet advertising no groups as part of its shutdown process to indicate that it is no longer available. The packet will be sent as a result of a call to Reggie's DestroyAdmin.destroy() implementation. This packet will not be sent if Reggie's VM is terminated and there has been no call to DestroyAdmin.destroy(). Adding a shutdown hook would enable Reggie to send the final multicast announcement when Reggie's VM is terminated and DestroyAdmin.destroy() has not been called.
