Re: [corona-dev] Corona Server Shutdown


When the Corona server is being shutdown, it will post a container shutdown event to every open ContextContainer.

Q: How should each Corona Workbench client handle the container shutdown event?

    * How should the user be notified?


Maybe containers should be decorated with offline icon. Some disconnected plugs. We could also show an dialog box with message that server was shut down, but with an option that the message box doesn't display any more.


    * Should the WB client be able to continue using the container
      offline?


I think finally we want to allow users work offline. So he should be able to continue an offline work.


    * Should the WB client periodically attempt to reconnect to the
      server?


I think so. Probably server won't be able to notify in any way that it is up again.

I think that shudown event should contain a time and date before which clients shouldn't try to reconnect. Usually, when server goes into maintenance, administrators can predict that it will take an hour or two.
