[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Seam, Drools, and Load Testing

Hi,

I've just done some very quick and simple load testing of Seam 2 CR2 application and have identified 2 issues as we ramp up the number of users:

1. If the ramp up is quick, the securityRules component does not get instantiated resulting in an NPE (for the current and ALL subsequent users!):

2. If we have a slow ramp up to avoid the NPE above intermittently we get AuthorizationExceptions (when they should not be thrown) which seem to only ocurr on Class/Method restrictions (rather than xhtml tag expressions):

Any ideas / pointers to resolve these issues? 

Are we likely to be doing something wrong or is this a Seam / Drools problem?

Thanks and regards.
