[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3948?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Brian Stansberry edited comment on WFCORE-3948 at 11/27/19 10:21 AM: --------------------------------------------------------------------- All of my above discussion is wrong; all that's needed is for AttachmentList to be thread safe. Why? All writes occur in Phase STRUCTURE. The DeploymentUnitPhaseService for the STRUCTURE Phase for the top level deployment installs all the SubDeploymentUnitService instances. It's a general rule that any service has a dep on the service that installed it, so that means any SubDeploymentUnitService will not start until the top level deployment has completed STRUCTURE phase and thus will see all its data. Within the STRUCTURE phase, the subdeployments don't care about the data from other subdeployments. SubDeploymentProcessor adds a dep on the STRUCTURE phase for each subdeployment to the top level deployment's PARSE phase. So all the subdeployments will have completed STRUCTURE before the top begins PARSE work. All the writes happen in STRUCTURE so they will be complete. All the reads after STRUCTURE are either by the top level deployment, which waits for the writes, or by subdeployments which are not concerned with any writes by other subdeployments. was (Author: brian.stansberry): All of my above discussion is wrong; all that's needed is for AttachmentList to be thread safe.
