Singleton EJBs with multiple views does not honor Lock semantics ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-5537 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5537 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Affects Versions: 10.0.0.CR2 Environment: 10.0.0.CR2 Reporter: Nicky Mølholm Assignee: Stuart Douglas Labels: ejb, interceptor, singleton Fix For: 12.0.0.Beta1, 12.0.0.Final Upon method invocations to Singleton EJBs with multiple views... the *ContainerManagedConcurrencyInterceptor* randomly selects a wrong Lock (READ / WRITE). Here is an example: {code:java} @Singleton @Lock(LockType.READ) @Local({ GreeterSayMyName.class, GreeterSayHello.class }) public class GreeterBean implements GreeterSayMyName, GreeterSayHello { @EJB GreeterSayMyName myself; @Override public String sayHello() { return "hello from " + myself.sayMyName(); } @Override public String sayMyName() { return "The Greeter"; } } public interface GreeterSayHello { String sayHello(); } public interface GreeterSayMyName { String sayMyName(); } {code} Sometimes (randomly) invoking the 'sayHello' method on this example EJB causes lock upgrade exceptions. They look like this: {noformat} 13:14:10,436 ERROR [f2PtkwmdRgaoHCdnZ7Vurg] [anonymous] [org.jboss.as.ejb3.invocation] (default task-5 f2PtkwmdRgaoHCdnZ7Vurg) WFLYEJB0034: EJB Invocation failed on component GreeterBean for method public abstract java.lang.String hello.world.GreeterSayHello.sayHello(): javax.ejb.IllegalLoopbackException: WFLYEJB0238: EJB 3.1 PFD2 4.8.5.1.1 upgrading from read to write lock is not allowed at org.jboss.as.ejb3.concurrency.EJBReadWriteLock.checkLoopback(EJBReadWriteLock.java:232) at org.jboss.as.ejb3.concurrency.EJBReadWriteLock.access$300(EJBReadWriteLock.java:40) {noformat} This happens completely randomly. The problem is that the interceptor only knows about one of the views' methods. At deployment time the ViewService will start the views concurrently - and the interceptorfactory only adds an interceptor instance to the interceptor context if one does not already exist. When the exception does NOT occur -then there is still a problem (although not visible from the code): A WRITE lock is selected - even though , given the above code, it should never ever be possible. So in fact - the issue , in that case, does not cause an exception because .... it already has the WRITE lock. ( When the exception occurs ...then it is because the sayHello() invocation resulted in a READ lock ... and the reentrant invocation caused a WRITE lock to be selected by the interceptor ... but as this is not allowed, it results in a horrible exception )
