Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-5561:
---------------------------------------

Do you have multiple threads accessing the same  connection at the same time?   
If so is it intentional? Typically when that is being done it is not 
intentional as even if the various methods were synchronized the two threads 
would share transaction and other state that would be difficult to coordinate.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5561
>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Network Client
>    Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2
>         Environment: Solaris 10
> Glassfish V2.1.1
> ClientXADataSource connection pool
>            Reporter: Brett Bergquist

> There are race conditions with checkForNullPhysicalConnection calls in 
> LogicalConnection.  checkForNullPhysicalConnection is not synchronized and it 
> checks for the member "phsyicalConnection" which can be cleared by 
> "nullPhsyicalConnection" (which is synchronized) and "close" (which is 
> synchronized) and "closeWithoutRecyclingToPool" (which is synchronized).
> This affects "nativeSQL", "getAutoCommit", "getTransactionIsolation", 
> "getWarnings", "isReadOnly", "getCatalog", "getTypeMap", "createStatement", 
> "prepareCall", "prepareStatement", "setHoldability", "getHoldability", 
> "setSavePoint", "rollBack", "releaseSavePoint", "getSchema", "setSchema".
> All of these call "checkForNullPhysicalConnection" and then use the member 
> "physicalConnection" after that call returns.  Because these methods are not 
> synchronized, between the time "checkForNullPhysicalConnectoin" returns and 
> "physicalConnection" is used, the "physicalConnection" member could be set to 
> null and then a NPE occurs.
> Probably all of these methods should be changed to synchronized.
