Exception when undeploying JBoss Drools app

I am writing a Java EE app with Java 6 and Glassfish. I use Drools rules engine in it and it works fine until I undeploy the application. When I do that I get this Exception over and over again. Restarting the app server is the only way to stop it. Of course that is unacceptable in productive environment...

Any Ideas? Is the META-INF/services/javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory missing? According to jarfinder it is included in the rt.jar of the appserver... including it manually does not help either.

The cause of the problem is that drools tries to continue to work (See org.drools.audit.WorkingMemoryFileLogger.writeToDisk()) while the application is trying to shut down.

The fix is to kill this thread (ThreadedWorkingMemoryFileLogger) before shutting down the app.
