Possible performance problem caused by autoSaveProcessInstances --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2911 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2911 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.5.SP5 Reporter: Alejandro Guizar Fix For: jBPM 3.2.10 autoSaveProcessInstances is a List type field of JbpmContext class, which contains the processInstance needed to persistent to database. List autoSaveProcessInstances = null; Due to the List type of autoSaveProcessInstances, the same processInstance can be repeatedly added to autoSaveProcessInstances by JbpmContext.addAutoSaveProcessInstance method. public void addAutoSaveProcessInstance(ProcessInstance processInstance) { if (autoSaveProcessInstances == null) autoSaveProcessInstances = new ArrayList(); autoSaveProcessInstances.add(processInstance); } When invoked by JbpmContext.close method, JbpmContext.autoSave will iterate each processInstance in the autoSaveProcessInstances to save, thus the processInstance be saved repeatedly. void autoSave() { if (autoSaveProcessInstances != null) { Iterator iter = autoSaveProcessInstances.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { ProcessInstance processInstance = (ProcessInstance)iter.next(); save(processInstance); iter.remove(); } } } In a web app based on seam 2.2.0, jbpm 3.2.5.sp5, a jsf request will cause the same processInstance to be saved more than 2000 times. The suggestion is to change the type of autoSaveProcessInstances from List to Set. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
