Re: Race condition, what do we do? (was DO NOT REPLY [Bug 24842] - java.lang.NullPointerException in first test -- thread synchronization prob?)

[Nicholas Lesiecki]

Ok, I'm sorry I haven't responded to this until now.

I think the thread sleep pause suggested by Per is  a bad idea, 
because, as he points out, the problem could be a race condition. The 
sleep could cover 90% or cases but leave open a different case. A 
cursory look through CVS did not confirm or deny his assertion that 
such a condition exists. I may be able to get a chance to look at this 
over the next week. I will report back if I do.

Cheers,
Nick

Chris/Nick,

What do we do about this? Do you have any idea? It's a complex topic 
and
I'm sure there are several ways to tackle it. Actually I'm surprised it
can happen as I thought that thanks to the AutoReadHttpURLConnection 
the
tests would execute one after another.

Do we add the thread sleep pause as suggested by Per Olesen?

Thanks
