[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-4758) Seam is allowing concurrent thread access to conversation components during conversation timeout

Seam is allowing concurrent thread access to conversation components during conversation timeout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-4758 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4758 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.2.SP1 Reporter: Andrew Duckworth Labels: concurrent, locking, manager, thread Attachments: myseamwebproject2.war.zip Our application is using Seam 2.0.2. During timeout processing for conversations, it appears that org.jboss.seam.core.Manager allows concurrent thread access to conversation scoped components and does not enforce normal conversation locking. This can cause major problems in components that expect single threaded behaviour and in our application that has some legacy Hibernate Session management, this can lead to multi-threaded access to the same HB session causing unpredictable results. I have verified the issue using a simple POJO and Seam Gen. The code for the POJO is as follows, (the large sleeps are to be able to easily reproduce the race condition): package org.domain.myseamwebproject.managertest; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Create; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Observer; import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope; import org.jboss.seam.core.Conversation; import org.jboss.seam.log.Log; @Name("convScopedBean") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) public class ConvScopedBean { int activeDestroyThreads = 0; int activeTimeoutThreads = 0; @Logger Log log; @Create public void create() { log.info("Bean created {0}", beanId()); } @Destroy public void destroy() { activeDestroyThreads++; log.info("Bean destroy starting on bean {0} in thread: {1} with {2} active destroy threads", beanId(), getCurrentThreadDetails(), activeDestroyThreads); try { Thread.sleep(10000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } log.info("Bean destroy finished on bean {0} in thread: {1} with {2} active destroy threads", beanId(), getCurrentThreadDetails(), activeDestroyThreads); activeDestroyThreads--; } private String getCurrentThreadDetails() { return Thread.currentThread().getName() + " id:" + Thread.currentThread().getId(); } private String beanId() { return String.valueOf(System.identityHashCode(this)); } public String getConversationId() { return Conversation.instance().getId(); } public String getCurrentTime() { return (new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss")).format(new Date()); } @Observer("org.jboss.seam.conversationTimeout") public void conversationTimeout(String cid) { activeTimeoutThreads++; log.info("Conversation timeout starting on bean {0} in thread: {1} with {2} active timeout threads", beanId(), getCurrentThreadDetails(), activeTimeoutThreads); try { Thread.sleep(10000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } log.info("Conversation timeout finished on bean {0} in thread: {1} with {2} active timeout threads", beanId(), getCurrentThreadDetails(), activeTimeoutThreads); activeTimeoutThreads--; } } On the xhtml page, I have an a4j:poll that polls getCurrentTime: <f:facet name="header">View Conversation</f:facet> <p>The current long running conversation is: #{convScopedBean.conversationId}</p> <p>The current time is: </p> <h:outputText id="currentTime" value="#{convScopedBean.currentTime}"/> <a4j:poll id="poll" interval="1000" enabled="true" reRender="poll,currentTime"/> <div class="actionButtons"> <s:button value="Go to Home" propagation="none" action="home"/> </div> As soon as the background expired conversation starts to get destroyed during a a4j:poll event, I click the s:button to generate a concurrent request to the same bean. The following log shows that the convScopedBean has multi-threaded access: 16:53:25,763 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean created 2923901 16:53:29,199 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean created 7938954 16:53:54,317 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout starting on bean 7938954 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active timeout threads 16:54:04,318 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout finished on bean 7938954 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active timeout threads 16:54:04,321 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 12791208 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active destroy threads 16:54:14,322 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 12791208 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active destroy threads 16:55:28,896 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout starting on bean 7938954 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:29,983 INFO [Manager] destroying conversation with garbage lock: 7 16:55:29,985 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean created 12033604 16:55:29,987 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout starting on bean 12033604 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:31,492 INFO [Manager] destroying conversation with garbage lock: 7 16:55:31,494 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean created 7531789 16:55:31,496 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout starting on bean 7531789 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:38,897 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout finished on bean 7938954 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:38,900 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 1 active destroy threads 16:55:39,988 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout finished on bean 12033604 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:39,991 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 2 active destroy threads 16:55:41,497 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Conversation timeout finished on bean 7531789 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 1 active timeout threads 16:55:41,500 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 3 active destroy threads 16:55:48,901 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-3 id:79 with 3 active destroy threads 16:55:49,992 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 2 active destroy threads 16:55:50,041 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 12033604 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 1 active destroy threads 16:55:51,501 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 2923901 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 1 active destroy threads 16:55:51,536 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy starting on bean 7531789 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 1 active destroy threads 16:56:00,042 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 12033604 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 id:78 with 1 active destroy threads 16:56:01,538 INFO [ConvScopedBean] Bean destroy finished on bean 7531789 in thread: http-0.0.0.0-8080-1 id:77 with 1 active destroy threads Can someone tell me if this is a known issue and that @Destroy and @Observer(endConversation) need to manage their own synchronization ? I have looked at the 2.2.1 release and the same issue looks like it is still present. If it would be helpful to have the entire test application WAR, please let me know and I can send it.
