Bharat Gera commented on DIRSERVER-1369:
----------------------------------------

I will like to get input on the overall Apache DS stability for concurrent 
access. The issue almost blocked us to release our product. We had made 
workarounds in the application. 

Is there information available on the usage of Apache DS like , 
          - Concurrent Access scenarios that is the fundamental operation to 
any database. Ofcoure , there is no transactional support in ldap but I find it 
strange that a product in v1.5 has such basic issues?
         - Overall stability of Apache in production deployment with less than 
10,000 users with multiple applications connecting?

We plan to release apache DS big time next year across multiple product 
integrations and the stability of the product really concerns me. Any docs, 
links etc will help.

>          Issue Type: Bug

>         Environment: Windows-xp, JDK-1.5

> This is with reference to a problem we faced when performing concurrent bind 
> and unbind of objects with ADS-1.5.4 release build.
> Please find the java program at the bottom.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Install apache_1.5.4 zip version of it and not the installer and change 
> port numbers to 1389 and 1636 respectively.
> 2. Create a naming context ( JDBM partition) on the lines of dc=example,dc=com
> 3. Also create the entry dc=example,dc=com
> 4. Run the java program provided below.
> Actual Result:
> The console throws up numerous Naming Exceptions with message "[LDAP: error 
> code 80 - OTHER: failed for     Del request
>         Entry : 
> '2.5.4.3=adsadminpref_thread-11,0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=example,0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=com'
> : null]; remaining name 'cn=tdsadminPref_Thread-11,dc=telelogic,dc=com' " for 
> each thread operating on a preference object.
> As a result, the server gets into an inconsistent state and unoperational.
> Expected Result: 
> The server should continuously bind and unbind the java hash table object.
> What could have caused this and how do we correct this.
> Are there any specific configurations to be made in the server.xml.
> I tried modifying some of the attributes like syncOnWrite, syncOnMillis, 
> maxThreads, cachesize and also rebind (instead of bind and unbind) in the 
> java program , but in vain.
> This is very important for us and do help us in this regard.
