Spring application does not exit using JmsTemplate

Question

I am integrating Spring-4 and Active-MQ 5.8. I have written small test code. It send message properly but it does not exit.

The Sender Code is

package sample.jms.activemq;

import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate;

public class MessageSender {

    private final JmsTemplate jmsTemplate;

    public MessageSender(final JmsTemplate jmsTemplate) {
        this.jmsTemplate = jmsTemplate;
    }

    public void send(final Map map) {
        jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(map);
    }

}

** Configuration file is **

public class JMSMain {

    public static void main(String a[]) {
        AbstractApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
                "/sample/jms/resources/Spring-Module.xml");
        MessageSender sender = (MessageSender) context.getBean("messageSender");
        Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        map.put("Name", "SampleName");
        sender.send(map);
        System.out.println("Exiting");
        context.registerShutdownHook();

    }
}

Try to add tcp://queueURL:61616?daemon=true to you config

The JMS just keeps listening messages so to close it it should be daemon.
