Using System.exit() during jboss startup

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

we try to develop a logic where if our application listener fails to initiate the application we shutdown the JVM using System.exit(1).
However, this causes 'JBoss Shutdown Hook' to run, but does not shutdown JBoss.
JBoss remains stuck forever.
