> Configuration Admin updates with empty properties and throws
> NullPointerExceptions due to race condition

> Key: FELIX-335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-335
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configuration Admin
> Reporter: Karl Pauls
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Attachments: empty-properties.patch
>
>
> There appears to be a race condition in the configuration admin that allows
> managed services to get updated with empty properties (but not null).
> Furthermore, due to the same bug NullPointerExceptions appear under heavy
> load.
> Fortunately, I think I was able to isolate the bug. The issue is that
> configurations are persisted when created but before they are initialized
> (i.e., given a configuration). If during this window a new ManagedService
> appears it gets updated with an empty Dictionary. Likewise, if the
> configuration is re-read after such an update attempt it does not have a pid
> which causes the null pointer exceptions.
> The fix seems to be rather simple (unless I'm missing something :-) but took
> me some time to figure out.
