Delta Virtual Airlines Issue Report #47

ISSUE #47 - Deprecate the QUIT message
Reported by	Luke Kolin (DVA043) on 07/09/2005 22:06 ET
Assigned To	Luke Kolin (DVA043)
Issue Status	Fixed on 07/10/2005 11:08 ET
Issue Priority	Medium
Security	Public
Area	ACARS
Issue Type	Enhancement
Target Version	1.0
Issue Description	The QUIT message should not be considered an authoritative indication that a user has logged off. It should be discarded by the ACARS server immediately upon receipt (and removed from the client). The server automatically tracks when a connection's underlying socket is closed by the client and this should be used to send the DELPILOTS DATARSP message.
ISSUE COMMENTS
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/09/2005 22:19 ET	The NetworkHandler thread already maintains a list of dropped connections. We need to create a QuitMessage bean internally in this code, and push it onto the formatted input stack for LogicProcessor to deal with.
Luke Kolin (DVA043) 07/09/2005 22:34 ET	The change has been made. I will test 0.40 of ACARS to ensure it does a graceful disconnect when flying.
