[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-9917?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Dan Berindei updated ISPN-9917: ------------------------------- Description: The idea behind {{WeakClassLoader}} is that we want users to be able to use {{Caching.getCachingProvider().getCacheManager()}} and not worry about closing the cache manager: instead Infinispan will close the manager when there are no more references to the provided {{ClassLoader}}. In order to close the manager automatically, {{AbstractJCachingProvider}} maintains a {{WeakHashMap}} of classloaders to managers, and if the cache manager had a strong reference to the classloader, the {{WeakHashMap}} entry would never be collected. However, this approach causes problems when a test creates a temporary {{ClassLoader}} instance and calls {{Caching.getCachingProvider().getCacheManager(tempClassLoader)}}, because the JVM is free to collect {{tempClassLoader}} immediately after it's used to create the {{WeakClassLoader}}. This can cause failures in the jcache tck with the IBM JDK: {noformat} [OK: 268, KO: 3, SKIP: 0] Test failed: CachingProviderTest.closeCacheManagerByURIAndClassLoader org.infinispan.commons.CacheConfigurationException: org.infinispan.commons.CacheException: Unable to construct a GlobalComponentRegistry! at org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager.<init>(DefaultCacheManager.java:344) at org.infinispan.jcache.embedded.JCacheManager.<init>(JCacheManager.java:70) at org.infinispan.jcache.embedded.JCachingProvider.createCacheManager(JCachingProvider.java:46) at org.infinispan.jcache.AbstractJCachingProvider.getCacheManager(AbstractJCachingProvider.java:67) at org.jsr107.tck.spi.CachingProviderTest.closeCacheManagerByURIAndClassLoader(CachingProviderTest.java:175) Caused by: org.infinispan.commons.CacheException: Unable to construct a GlobalComponentRegistry! at org.infinispan.factories.GlobalComponentRegistry.<init>(GlobalComponentRegistry.java:164) at org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager.<init>(DefaultCacheManager.java:329) ... 39 more Caused by: org.infinispan.commons.CacheConfigurationException: Unable to inject dependencies for component class org.infinispan.notifications.cachemanagerlistener.CacheManagerNotifierImpl, path org.infinispan.notifications.cachemanagerlistener.CacheManagerNotifier (a org.infinispan.notifications.cachemanagerlistener.CacheManagerNotifierImpl) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.performInjection(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:286) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.wireWrapper(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:176) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.registerComponent(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:360) at org.infinispan.factories.GlobalComponentRegistry.<init>(GlobalComponentRegistry.java:120) ... 40 more Caused by: org.infinispan.commons.CacheException: ClassLoader reference was garbage collected at org.infinispan.jcache.embedded.WeakClassLoader.requireClassLoader(WeakClassLoader.java:49) at org.infinispan.jcache.embedded.WeakClassLoader.findClass(WeakClassLoader.java:30) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassHelper(ClassLoader.java:925) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:870) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:853) at java.lang.Class.forNameImpl(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:402) at org.infinispan.commons.util.Util.loadClassStrict(Util.java:170) at org.infinispan.commons.util.Util.loadClass(Util.java:122) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.tryAutoInstantiation(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:249) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.findFactory(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:202) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.getComponent0(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:94) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.getDependency(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:327) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.setInjectionField(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:315) at org.infinispan.factories.impl.BasicComponentRegistryImpl.performInjection(BasicComponentRegistryImpl.java:276) ... 43 more {noformat} was: The idea behind {{WeakClassLoader}} is that we want users to be able to use {{Caching.getCachingProvider().getCacheManager()}} and not worry about closing the cache manager: instead Infinispan will close the manager when there are no more references to the provided {{ClassLoader}}.
