Issue description
In some conditions, a JMX request to a remote peer can be stuck waiting for a response from the peer, when this peer is killed before it could send a response, i.e. while still executing the JMX request. When this happens in the driver, it results in one thread locking a JPPFNodeConnectionWrapper and never releasing it, in turn causing other threads to be stuck waiting for this JPPFNodeConnectionWrapper, as shown in this thread dump extract:

A preliminary analysis shows that the following code in com.sun.jmx.remote.generic.ClientSynchroMessageConnectionImpl.sendWithReturn() ends up waiting for a timeout equal to Long.MAX_VALUE, which is definitely too long!
long remainingTime = wtimeout;
final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
synchronized (mwrapper) {
  while (!mwrapper.got && remainingTime > 0) {
    try {
      mwrapper.wait(remainingTime);
    } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
      // OK. This is a user thread, so it is possible that the user wants to stop waiting.
      break;
    }
    remainingTime = wtimeout - (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime);
  }
}
Here, the value of 'wtimeout' is Long.MAX_VALUE. What nwe need to do is call mwrapper.wait(some_small_value) and call checkstate() at each iteration of the while loop, so an exception can be raised when we detect that the connection with the peer is broken.
Steps to reproduce this issue
In the org.jppf.management.JPPFNodeAdmin class, replace this:
public void shutdown() throws Exception {
  shutdownOrRestart(false);
}
with this:
public void shutdown() throws Exception {
  System.exit(1);
}
This results in no clean shutdown of the JMX connection(s) being performed on the node side, and the exit() is done from within the MBean method, while the server side is still waiting for a response.

Then, to reproduce:
  • start a driver
  • start an admin console
  • start 40 nodes (1 master + provisioning of 39 slaves)
  • in the admin console, select all nodes and click on the "Shutdown" buttonn
==> take a thread dump and observe the threads blocked wiaitng for a JPPFNodeConnectionWrapper

The fix was flawed, causing the connection check to only happen once.
