System shutdown
The CommonPoint application system requires that most applications and other software components support a system-wide protocol for orderly shutdown. A central shutdown server directs the protocol, assuring that every task in the system is given a chance to save its state to disk, and that tasks terminate in the correct order according to the dependency relationships among them. The entity that performs shutdown operations on behalf of a particular software component is called a shutdown handler; you must provide a shutdown handler for every application or server you develop.
