shutdownConnectionFactory

public static void shutdownConnectionFactory()

Shutdown connection factory.
This method shuts down every resource needed by connections. Should only be used if whole application shuts down. Be very careful if you use this method - every connection in relation to this channelFactory must be closed otherwise you end up in indefinitely loop. In most cases closing the connections is good enough NETTY will release other resources. http://docs.jboss.org/netty/3.2/api/org/jboss/netty/channel/socket/nio/NioClientSocketChannelFactory.html
