-----------------------------------------
It would be easier to fix tree set ordering, don't you think?
> Incorrent cleanup of expired continuations

> Key: COCOON-2109
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2109
> Project: Cocoon
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: - Flowscript
> Affects Versions: 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.1.9, 2.1.10, 2.1.11-dev (Current
> SVN)
> Reporter: Miguel Cuervo
> Attachments: ContinuationsManagerImpl.java.patch
>
>
> The class ContinuationsManagerImpl is in charge of cleaning up expired
> continuations. It does so in the method expireContinuations. In this method
> there is a loop using an iterator over a SortedSet of continuations
> (WebContinuation). The loop is expecting that the continuations are ordered
> from oldest to newest. The loop stops in the first continuation that is not
> expired. The logic is correct since all the newer continuations could not be
> expired.
> However, the problem comes from the ordering of the continuations. To have
> the continuations ordered by lastAccessTime the program uses a TreeSet as a
> container of the continuations. The continuations implement the compareTo
> interface using the lastAccessTime and when a continuation is inserted in the
> container, it gets correctly ordered. But after the insertion, the
> continuation can change its lastAccessTime using the method
> WebContinuation.updateLastAccessTime() called from
> WebContinuation.getContinuation(). The ordering of the TreeSet is not updated
> with the change and when the program iterates over it, it does not get the
> continuations in the order expected.
> The result of this bug is that under hevy load many expired continuations may
> be around before the loop actually clean them up, eating memory resources and
> causing OutOfMemory.
> To fix it, a patch is provided that uses a HashSet for the continuations
> container and loops over all the continuations to check if they have expired.
