The output I showed pointed to org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.java.Continuation which only seems to exist in Cocoon 2.1. Nothing unsets the context there.
Hah - well spotted!
Having a look into the code continuations are only handled by JavaInterpreter. There are two methods callFunction(..) and handleContinuation(..) calling Continuation.registerThread() and deregisterThread() in a finally block. From a brief look I have no idea if I can just unset the ContinuationContext there as well. You might know more about it.
We should add a try/finally block in Continuation.suspend() that clears the context after a suspend. That should fix it.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to unset the ContinuationContext completely. It's needed in JavaInterpreter.handleContinuation(..) when a child continuation is created:

 Continuation parentContinuation =
     (Continuation) parentwk.getContinuation();
 ContinuationContext parentContext =
     (ContinuationContext) parentContinuation.getContext();
 ContinuationContext context = new ContinuationContext();
 context.setObject(parentContext.getObject());
 context.setMethod(parentContext.getMethod());

There is no need to really obtain that value from the parent. If handleContinuation would have also the function parameter it could use the same initialization as in callFuntion. Actually a way of fixing this would be to add two Strings to the Continuation class. One holding the classname, the other holding the method name. And then do

context.setObject(userScopes.get(parentContinuation.getScopeName()));
context.setMethod(methods.get(parentContinuation.getFunctionName()));

in handleContinuation. Then the cleaning of the context should be fine.

Without completely rewriting it the only thing I did was to remove the data in the ContinuationContext that is not necessary. I do this by an extra call to ContinuationContext.onSuspend() in AbstractContinuable since Continuation is not aware of the implementation of its context (it's just an Object).

Please review my changes [1] because I'm not really sure about them.

Not a fan of the Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap()) change - but other than that they look OK on the first glance :)

They work for the normal case, but what happens in an error case? I can't see what's really going on except that the method is left on Continuation.suspend() ... It was very interesting to debug it when AbstractContinuable.sendPageAndWait(..) was actually hit twice.

:) ...what error case do you mean?

I guess this handling is different in 2.2. There a clean ContinuationContext is created on both callFunction(..) and handleContinuation(..).

Indeed ...that would be another fix ...porting it from 2.2 :)

Thanks for looking into that.

cheers
