[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-6884) ConcurrentModificationExceptions and inconsistent number of results from getComponentsByType() occur when reload() is used rather than load()

ConcurrentModificationExceptions and inconsistent number of results from getComponentsByType() occur when reload() is used rather than load() --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6884 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6884 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Sub-task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: ProfileService Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Ian Springer Assignee: Scott M Stark Fix For: JBossAS-5.1.0.GA When I accidentally switched the as5 plugin code to use reload() rather than load() whenever it reloaded the management view, I started seeing very messed up behavior when calling methods on the ManagementView. 1) When iterating Sets of components returned by ManagementView methods, I saw ConcurrentModificationExceptions. 2) When calling ManagementView.getComponentsByType(someType), I would get 5 results, then calling it a second later, 0 results, then another second later 3 results. It seems there are some serious concurrency issues within ManagementView that really come to light when reload() is called. On a related note, why do we even need reload()? It seems redundant, since load() does a reload of the view anyway if the view isn't already up-to-date. Can we deprecate it?
