> Under certain conditions, we have discovered that the EntityManagerFactory is
> not thread safe when creating EntityManagers. The problem is in the
> loadPersistentTypes method of the AbstractBrokerFactory. There is an
> unprotected data structure (_pcClassNames) that can various problems
> (NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, etc) when attempting to add
> new elements to the ArrayList. Other similar datastructures in this part are
> properly synchronized (_pcClassLoaders for example), but somehow we missed
> this one.
> A common scenario where this might be encountered is if your SLSB has an
> injected PersistenceUnit (EntityManagerFactory), but is attempting to create
> the EntityManager during a post-bean creation method (@PostConstruct). In
> this case, the SLSB instances are probably using the same EMF instance (of
> course this would depend on your application server implementation). If you
> have this type of environment, then hitting these SLSB's with multiple
> clients could get you into this situation.
