Paul Ferraro created WFLY-3465: ---------------------------------- Summary: Using Infinispan eviction manager can cause ConcurrentModificationException during web session access Key: WFLY-3465 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3465 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Clustering Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Paul Ferraro Fix For: 9.0.0.Alpha1 Because wildfly stores web session using multiple cache entries, it makes liberal use of Flag.SKIP_LOCKING when locks are already held on the primary cache entry for a given session. Infinispan's eviction manager, however, treats all cache entries the same. Thus it may try to evict a cache entry that belongs to a session that is currently locked for use by the application - since it will have no trouble locking it - because our code assumes that all session access will first lock the primary cache entry of a session. This manifests as a mysterious ConcurrentModificationException. Thus, we can improve the compatibility of our code with Infinispan's eviction manager by simply removing the use of the SKIP_LOCKING flag. Given that the only possible source of contention is the eviction manager - the cost of doing so is fairly minimal. I should note that our default configuration does not use Infinispan eviction. Web session passivation is instead handled by the web session clustering code. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.3#6260)
