[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPM-983) concurrent process execution fails

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-983?page=comments#action_12367164 ] Edward Staub commented on JBPM-983: ----------------------------------- I suppose I should describe the fixes I'm not publishing. I made a static map reflecting all processes that are currently locked for exclusive execution. The map contains process id as key, and Thread, lock count, and process id in a class as the value. The lock count is needed to allow a thread to lock/unlock a process more than once in a nested fashion. All use of the map is synchronized on the map. Whenever a process instance is in use by a job, it is locked by adding it to the map. After all jobs for a process are completed and committed in JobExecutorThread, all process locks held by that thread are released (deleted from the map), by scanning the map for the thread. The map is synchronize-locked during querying for a job. When job(s) have been selected, their process-instance is locked and then the synchronization-lock is released. This prevents the problem where, if a new job is spawned while old ones are running on a process instance, the new job may be picked up by another thread immediately. When a subprocess is created in ProcessState, it is locked until the job is completed. This prevents execution of jobs on the new process before it has been committed. When a subprocess completes in ProcessState, there is an attempt to lock the parent process. If that succeeds, execution proceeds normally. If the lock is already held by someone else, a job is spawned to wake up the parent process. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
