I fixed the race condition in the day trader initialization, and
committed it to OpenEJB. The problem was cause by the web
application reveiving the notification that the TradeEJB (or another
one) was started before the ContainerIndex received the
notification. When the web application attempted to look up the EJB
in the container index it was not available. I coded around this
problem by having the container index check the kernel directly
before failing the lookup, but we need a more general solution to
address the non-deterministic notification ordering.

All,
Rather than continue on one of the outstanding release chains its
appropriate to start a new thread on where we are at and what we
are doing.
First, the outstanding issues with the release candidates clearly
show that there are some issues that need to be resolved. The most
significant is the error that is thrown during intialization. It
is not, as was previously thought, an issue with copying the
database files upon initial execution. It is rather associated
with a race condition between the web-app being initialized and the
EJB container reaching an initialized state. We are working on
this issue and as such all previous release candidates should be
discarded and ignored for now. We will track down the issues
related to initialization as well as the other problems reported
and put out a new release candidate.
Second, thanks to all that are doing the testing and taking time to
download and install the images on various operating systems. We
very much appreciate your investement of time and interest. Your
feedback is noted and will be incorporated where possible.
Here are the outstanding issue that I've noted from the feedback on
the list:
GERONIMO-1363 - DayTrader still using old geronimo-spec files - fixed
GERONIMO-1371 - Geronimo startup/shutdown issues
GERONIMO-1372 - Exception during startup - TradeEJB
GERONIMO-1375 - Invalid login to console should not produce stack
trace
If I missed one please let me know.
Regarding the press release I'd like to ask Bruce and Geir to
tackle that issue. Can you guys help out there?
Thanks.
Matt
