SEAM 1.2.1 GA
Ajax - 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT (from seam dist)
Hello forum,
I have finally a clue about my Conversation.flush() errors. This is due to a race
condition between my ajax poll and my @End method, which is called when the user presses
apply/cancel.
I am able to reproduce this reliably by:
(1) Starting a nested conversation, from a long running conversation.
(2) I poll the corresponding backing bean, with
reRender="#{bean1.ajaxRenderList}"
(3) I End the conversation with a button action="#{bean1.apply}"
(4) Stick a Thread.sleep() in apply() to stall it for 4s
(5) Use a 2s interval on the poll to ensure it fires during an apply() call
What I think happens is:
- After I press apply, the poller attempts to access the bean "at the same
time"
- Since the bean is @Synchronized, this call has to wait.
- When apply() finishes, Seam cleans up the conversation as per @End
- When the poll thread runs, tries to access the component, causing the flush() error due
to an inconsistent state.
With the Thread.sleep() the error is reproducible every time.
So... Does anyone know of a good way to synchrhonize these actions (poll + command button)
and avoid this problem? I would like to be able to do this on the server-side if
possible.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
fyi, My beans are like so:
| @Stateful
| @Scope(CONVERSATION)
| @LoggedIn
| @Synchronized
| @Conversational
| @Name("bean1")
| public class Bean1 implements Bean1Local {
|
| @Begin(nested=true)
| public String edit () {
| return "page1";
| }
| ...
|
| @End
| public String apply () {
|
| // Delay, so that poller will come in before we are done.
| Thread.sleep (4000);
|
| return "page2";
|
| }
|
| public String getAjaxRenerList () {
| return "a4jPanel1";
| }
|
|
| <a4j:region id="pollRegion" renderRegionOnly="false">
| <a4j:poll
| id="poller"
| interval="2000"
| enabled="true"
| eventsQueue="pollerQueue"
| reRender="#{bean1.ajaxRenderList}">
| </a4j:poll>
| </a4j:region>
