[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1272) SynchronizationInterceptor#aroundInvoke should not be synchronized

SynchronizationInterceptor#aroundInvoke should not be synchronized ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-1272 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1272 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA Environment: Seam 1.2.1GA Reporter: Paul Lorenz Assigned To: Gavin King Fix For: 1.3.0.BETA1 Because SynchronizationInterceptor#aroundInvoke is synchronized, the locking code inside the method is accessed serially (at least for Session scoped JavaBeans). This means that access to the bean will be serialized by synchronizing on the interceptor, rather than on the RentrantLock. The also means that the timeout will never be used, and if something deadlock inside the interceptor, things trying to enter the block will also deadlock indefinitely. This caused our production system to lock up today. We were unable to determine if there is some other reason for the synchronized being on the method, but couldn't think of one, since the scope for the two methods of synchronized is the same. As an aside, Seam is great! Thank you for all the hard work.
