Locking in EJBContainer during start/stop can cause deadlocks and/or
IllegalMonitorStateExceptions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: EJBTHREE-1653
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1653
Project: EJB 3.0
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 1.0.0-Beta11, 1.0.0-Beta12, 1.1.0-Beta1
Reporter: Paul Ferraro
Assignee: Paul Ferraro
This relates to the fix implemented for
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-1116
The locking/unlocking performed during create/start/stop uses a ReentrantReadWrite lock
which assumes that the lifecycle events are called by the same thread. This is not a safe
assumption.
If EJBContainer is stopped and restarted by different threads, start() will throw an
IllegalMonitorStateException when it tries to unlock the write lock acquired in stop().
Additionally, if EJBContainer is stopped, and a second thread tries to stop it again, that
thread will block until it is interrupted.
Since EJBContainer is the only object capable of acquiring the container write lock, the
write lock should always be reentrant regardless of thread ownership.
