      JBossWeb did not cleanly handle any exceptions thrown by the destroy method of custom servlet filters. If Filter.destroy() threw an exception during and application's undeployment, then the undeploy would fail to complete. The application would not be usable in this state, nor could it be redeployed successfully. Exceptions from Filter.destroy() are now caught and do not prevent undeployment from completing successfully.

      JBoss does not handle any exceptions from custom Filter.destroy() implementations. This is passed on to the JBoss container and disrupts the
      undeployment so the app is not successfully undeployed.

      That causes a potentially critical issue as the application is no longer deployed at that point, but it can't be redeployed due to conflicts with the prior incomplete undeployment. The server has to be restarted to be able to deploy the application again.

      The broken undeployment could be fixed at the container level if org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterConfig.release() caught exceptions thrown by Filter.destroy()
