Reservation is not revoked when conference ends

The reservation system REST API documentation mentions the following about conference (reservation) deletion: “Jicofo deletes conferences in the reservation system in two cases. First when all users leave XMPP Multi User Chat room. Second when conference duration limit is exceeded.”

I am only experiencing the latter. With the duration set to 10 minutes, the conference is never deleted before the 10 minutes expire, even if everyone leaves within the minute.

(I see no call to deleteConference except from within the ConferenceExpireTask.)

Hi, I also ran into this problem: When the conference duration limit is exceeded, jicofo removes it from the conference map but when someone tries to start this terminated conference again, no request is sent to reservation system and the conference starts without reservation system being informed!

I had an ambiguity about expected behavior of reservation system: Why Jicofo destroys XMPP MUC room only when duration limit is exceeded and not when everyone leaves the conference? Does the reservation system should delete its record from its database immediately after receiving DELETE request from jicofo, or wait until its duration limit is exceeded and then delete the related record?

Any further works on this problem is appreciated 😃

Nice catch ! Thanks for looking into this. I was planning to get rid of FocusAllocationListener in favour of “focus created” and “focus destroyed” events: https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jitsi/jicofo/FocusManager.java#L325 https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jitsi/jicofo/FocusManager.java#L396 Unfortunately we’re not using that code, so it may take a lot of time before that happens, but we would appreciate a PR that does that !
