Class CleanupUtil

java.lang.Object

com.realobjects.pdfreactor.util.CleanupUtil

public class CleanupUtil
extends Object

This class provides a single static method to cleanup static resources. If you are using PDFreactor as a Java library in a web application, call the CleanupUtil.cleanup() method when the servlet context is destroyed. This shuts down internally used cleaner threads. This is only necessary if the web application is re-deployed multiple times during the application server's life time.

Note that PDFreactor registers a ServletContextListener that does exactly that. So for basic servlet integrations or integrations that respect ServletContextListeners via the '@WebListener' annotation it is not necessary to call the CleanupUtil.cleanup() method.

When using the modular "pdfreactorcore.jar" instead of the full "pdfreactor.jar", the ServletContextListener class is located in the "pdfreactor-servlet-autocleaner.jar" JAR.
