Hi all, We recently upgraded our test server from CFMX 6.1 to ColdFusion 8, which causes our application much problems. Because of the nature of our application and the way it is build, we use cflockextensively. It seems that ColdFusion 8 has some serious issues with CFLOCK. After the upgrade, we found requests to be blocked for no obvious reason, while the CF monitor always shows that the process is waiting for a lock (cflock is the final element in the stack trace). We are using nested locks, but there are no deadlocks (believe me, I checked). Anyways, the CF documentation says that a deadlock would end when a timeout is reached. I'm now looking at a request that has been blocked for over 3 days (lock timeout = 30 seconds).
Here's the stack trace of the request: ************************************** /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/components/SharedDirectoryListing.cfc cflock at /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/components/SharedDirectoryListing.cfc getNextItem() : 138 at /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/components/SharedDirectoryListing.cfc check() : 116 at /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/tasks/archiving/setExpirydates.cfm cflock : 51 at /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/tasks/archiving/setExpirydates.cfm : 3 at /opt/bea/wls_sp6/user_projects/domains/domaineistc/extend7010/stage/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/eistc/tasks/archiving/setExpirydates.cfm ************************************** This is the only active request. No other requests are running. When I start a new request that waits for the same lock, it waits for the lock for 30 seconds and then times out, which leads me to believe that the long running request has obtained the lock. This code worked without any issues on CFMX6, so there has to be something different in the way CF8 handles the locks. Is there anybody out there that had similar issues after upgrading to CF8? Is there a way to see all active locks on an application? The CF monitor does not seem to be able to give me the information I need to solve this issue. Any help would be much appreciated!
