[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-396?page=all ] Felix Meschberger closed JCR-396: ---------------------------------
> RMI published Repository using the jcr-rmi library gets lost over time > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCR-396 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-396 > Project: Jackrabbit > Type: Bug > Components: rmi > Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Jackrabbit Rev. 393410 WebApp > Reporter: Felix Meschberger > Assignee: Felix Meschberger > Fix For: 1.1 > Attachments: RepositoryStartupServlet_patch_fm_20060412.diff > > The jcr-server/webapp project contains a servlet - RepositoryStartupServlet - > which may be used in a web app to start a repository and optionally register > the repository with JNDI and RMI. To register the repository with JNDI, the > jcr-rmi library is used to create a Remote repository instance, which is > registered with the RMI registry. Inside the RMI implementation mechanisms > based on stub classes created by the RMI compiler are created to make the > remote repository available remotely. This includes creating a object table > to map remote references to local objects. This table stores references to > the local object as weak references to support distributed garbage collection. > Over time, it may now be that this remote repository instance is actually > collected and the object table cannot access it anymore thus preventing the > repository from being accessed remotely. To prevent this from happening, the > RepositoryStartupServlet must keep a strong reference to the remote > repository and drop this reference when the servlet is destroyed and the > repository unregistered. > *NOTE:* This is an issue to all long running applications which publish > repository instances over RMI using the jcr-rmi library. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
