=== Shutdown Handler

[[shutdown-handler-metadata]]
==== Info

* Classname: `org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ShutdownHandler`
* Maven Artifact: org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server
* Javadoc: {JDURL}/org/eclipse/jetty/server/handler/ShutdownHandler.html
* Xref: {JXURL}/org/eclipse/jetty/server/handler/ShutdownHandler.html

[[shutdown-handler-usage]]
==== Usage

A handler that shuts the server down on a valid request.
This is used to perform "soft" restarts from Java.
If `_exitJvm` is set to true a hard `System.exit()` call is being made.

This is an example of how you can setup this handler directly with the Server.
It can also be added as a part of handler chain or collection.

[source, java, subs="{sub-order}"]
----
    Server server = new Server(8080);
    HandlerList handlers = new HandlerList();
    handlers.setHandlers(new Handler[]
    { someOtherHandler, new ShutdownHandler(server,"secret password") });
    server.setHandler(handlers);
    server.start();
----

This is an example that you can use to call the shutdown handler from within java.

[source, java, subs="{sub-order}"]
----
   public static void attemptShutdown(int port, String shutdownCookie) {
        try {
            URL url = new URL("http://localhost:" + port + "/shutdown?token=" + shutdownCookie);
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
            connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
            connection.getResponseCode();
            logger.info("Shutting down " + url + ": " + connection.getResponseMessage());
        } catch (SocketException e) {
            logger.debug("Not running");
            // Okay - the server is not running
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
