Method and system for handling framework shutdown in a network

A central server comprising:

• a processor configured to generate an event related to a framework shutdown, to determine, when the event is generated, whether the event is related to one of an abrupt framework shutdown and a normal framework shutdown, and when the event is related to one of the abrupt framework shutdown and the normal framework shutdown, to convert the event as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) event;
• a transmitter configured to deliver the converted event to one or more controllers present in a network;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive a poll from an entity external to the framework at a regular interval of time, when the framework shutdown is determined to be the abrupt framework shutdown,
• wherein the one or more controllers in the network are informed about an abrupt shutdown based on the poll, and
• wherein an exception that occurs during the framework shutdown is wrapped in a BundleException that is published as a framework event of type Frame-workEvent.Error.
