Race condition in DataContext.localObject()
-------------------------------------------
Key: CAY-786
URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-786
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Cayenne Core Library
Affects Versions: 1.2 [STABLE], 2.0 [STABLE], 3.0
Reporter: Andrus Adamchik
Assigned To: Andrus Adamchik
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.2 [STABLE], 2.0 [STABLE], 3.0
I've been trying to track down for some time a uniquing breakage in my
production application. The app would randomly throw FaultFailureExceptions for
objects resolved via to-one relationships:
org.apache.cayenne.FaultFailureException: [v.3.0-SNAPSHOT Mar 12 2007 15:24:28]
Error resolving fault for ObjectId: <ObjectId:EEE, ID=18> and state (hollow).
Possible cause - matching row is missing from the database.
at org.apache.cayenne.BaseContext.prepareForAccess(BaseContext.java:106)
The exception text is misleading. In fact what happened is that the HOLLOW
object being resolved was previously kicked out from the ObjectStore and
replaced with another object for the same id. The race condition is in
DataContext.localObject():
Persistent localObject = (Persistent) descriptor.createObject();
localObject.setObjectContext(this);
localObject.setObjectId(id);
getGraphManager().registerNode(id, localObject);
This entire block of code has to be synchronized. This exception is not very
common, as DataContext is normally not reused by many parallel threads...
However I've been successfully using a shared DataContext in a read-only
high-volume app and it worked very nicely... except for this case. I also
suspect that this same race condition may have other visible consequences... I
was just able to trfack the most obvious one that results in FFE.
