RuleBaseEventSupport does "new BeforeRuleBaseLockedEvent()"
Both are in the same jar (drools-core) and in the same package (org.drools.event). The ClassNotFoundException does not make sense.

Can not reproduce.

I tried guvnor-5.3.4-SNAPSHOT-jboss-as-7.0.War on jboss-eap-6.0, but the server shutdown went fine:

The stacktrace seems to implicate there's a changeset involved too. Furthermore, it happens for "business-central-server.war", what is that war?
Please provide a reproduce recipe. Even better would be a reproducing arquillian test.

Once we can reproduce, we need too look into this jbpm class:

https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/blob/master/jbpm-gwt/jbpm-gwt-core/src/main/java/org/jbpm/integration/console/StatefulKnowledgeSessionUtil.java#L92

Several problems:
1) That's a class never calls
        kagent.dispose();
2) That class overwrite Object.finalize() (= evil). But that is never called as no instance is ever created of that class (all use is static).
3) Therefore, StatefulKnowledgeSessionUtil.dispose() is never called.

This pull request has changes that might fix the problem (as kagent.dispose() should be correctly be called):
  https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/pull/121

However, after building the jbpm-console from source (with or without these changes), I was unable to deploy that to EAP 6 or JBoss AS 7, due to the high reconfiguration required to the server.
The installer and the wiki doc didn't help.

Macies (a jbpm developer) is able to run the jbpm-console locally, he's going to try the changes.

Marco will take over the rest of the issue.

Sometimes I experience also this exception when stopping EAP 6.0 (usually after several other exceptions regarding persistence configuration or something else):

confirm that Geoffrey change solved the problem and merged it into 5.2.x and master.
Thanks Geoffrey!


Important to note that console-server/business-central-server web.xml needs to be altered to include following listener definition:
  <listener>
    <listener-class>org.jbpm.integration.console.StatefulKnowledgeSessionUtilListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

I have stopped the eap6 with the new ee6 deployable wars several times and the reported exception "Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.drools.event.BeforeRuleBaseLockedEvent" has never been thrown again.

Regarding Maciej's comment #10 - my business-central-server web.xml does not contain the described listener definition and it was not necessary to add it there.

So, I am changing the state to VERIFIED in brms 5.3.1 ER1.

Doc text edited for inclusion in the release notes. Thanks for providing the text, Maciej.
