Stateless components and classloading

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2690
             Project: Wicket
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wicket
    Affects Versions: 1.4.5
            Reporter: Kirill


Following a post on the user list, which so far got no reply, posting the issue 
here:

Wicket 1.4.5 with Tomcat 6.0.

Here's one thing that doesn't work. I'm trying to make a session-resistant (but 
*not* bookmarkable) link on the homepage that should work no matter if the page 
exists. If the page doesn't exist, I want it to be created and then the link 
event handler invoked. As far as I understand, StatelessLink should work for 
this purpose. However, I can't get it to work. From time to time, clicking it 
produces the following error in the console:

Sometimes I also get the following (seemingly related) error:

A reliable way to reproduce it is:
1) open the home page in the browser
2) restart the web application in Tomcat
3) click the link
Every time I perform the above steps, I either get the first exception, or the 
second.

It doesn't necessarily happen immediately when the session expires (but AFAICT 
it always happens some time after that). Looks like it happens when a 
classloader cache in the servlet container gets garbage-collected.

I find the first stack trace especially interesting. I have traced the 
execution flow in debugger, and I'm confident that the first exception always 
happens after some Links get instantiated, and because Link implements 
ILinkListener, at that point the RequestListenerInterface instance for 
ILinkListener exists. However, RequestListenerInterface.register() method 
doesn't get called during the "resolve" step, so I must conclude that the 
servlet container uses the preexisting class at that point. But when the 
execution flow reaches AbstractRequestCycleProcessor.java:92 during the 
"process" step, the RequestListenerInterface instance for ILinkListener can no 
longer be found.

Such inconsistencies happen when one class (AbstractRequestCycleProcessor?) is 
created by a different classloader than another class 
(RequestListenerInterface?).

What remains unclear is why I can't see other reports of the same problem on 
the list. Am I doing something wrong?
