[infinispan-dev] Unit test for ISPN-3698 and more workarounds...

[Galder Zamarreño]

Hey Paul,

I've got a unit test for ISPN-3698 [1] [2].

The test hangs when in cm1.getCache() at the end of the test. If you look at the logs you'll find a load of NPEs like the one in the JIRA.

If this is what you are doing, another thing that should work fine is essentially rebuild the configurations when you start a new cache manager and avoid using the configuration objects of a stopped cache manager. 

The key thing here is that if you create a new instance of GlobalConfigurationBuilder when you redeploy, it'll automatically create a brand new instance of VersionAwareMarshaller, and that would get around the issue.

As long as the new global configuration has a reference to the old VersionAwareMarshaller, you have the potential for the NPE (unless you do some trick to reset VersionAwareMarshaller's defaultMarshaller instance).

WRT the fix I proposed it yesterday, I've run it through our testsuite and a fair few failures appear (~60), so think whether you can get around it with a workaround like the one explained in this email. In the mean time I'm trying to find a better fix within Infinispan itself.

Cheers,
