Some more thoughts about this...
The wait() call in the getService() method is as follows:
synchronized (this)
{
// First make sure that no existing operation is currently
// being performed by another thread on the service registration.
for (Object o = m_lockedRegsMap.get(reg); (o != null); o =
m_lockedRegsMap.get(reg))
{
// We don't allow cycles when we call out to the
service factory.
if (o.equals(Thread.currentThread()))
{
throw new ServiceException(
"ServiceFactory.getService() resulted in a cycle.",
ServiceException.FACTORY_ERROR,
null);
}
// Otherwise, wait for it to be freed.
try
{
wait();
}
catch (InterruptedException ex)
{
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}
I'm wondering why the code doesn't break out of the loop in the catch block?
Cheers,
David
