David Poon updated AXIS2-3400:
------------------------------

      Priority: Critical  (was: Major)
    Issue Type: Bug  (was: Improvement)

I have changed the issue type from Improvement to Bug and the priority from 
Major to Critical. This issue affects our environment since we are reusing the 
same configuration context across multiple generated Stubs in a multi-user and 
multithreaded environment.

> AxisService name not unique enough

> The generated (client) stub implementation's populateAxisService() method 
> creates the AxisService name using Object.hashCode() as a means to "ensure" 
> uniqueness, for example:
> //creating the Service with a unique name
> _service = new org.apache.axis2.description.AxisService("IsisLocation" + 
> this.hashCode());
> In our performance and stress test runs, we find that from time to time, 
> "duplicate name found" errors would occur. We reuse the same configuration 
> context instance over multiple client service invocations. The javadoc of 
> java.lang.Object.hashCode() states that:
> "... It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the 
> java.lang.Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode 
> method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. ... 
> As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class 
> Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically 
> implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, 
> but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming 
> language.)"
> In essence uniqueness is not guaranteed.
> Even though the Stub's finalize() method calls its own cleanup() method 
> (which would remove the AxisService name), it is still possible for a 
> duplicate name being generated whilst the other Stub is still in use (by 
> another thread).
> Perhaps in addition to using hashCode(), a static incrementing counter could 
> be appended to the generated name as well?
