David Rees commented on DBCP-44:
--------------------------------
It's funny, I've been using DBCP for years without having run across this issue
once, and now I've had two separate applications run across the same deadlock
within a week.
I have another deadlock which is identical to the one above, except that the
thread closing the connection is a Servlet running in Tomcat, but the cause is
the same.
The Evictor thread runs, locks the GenericObjectPool, enters validateConnection
and then attempts to lock a Poolable Connection.
Another thread Locks a PoolableConection, and attempts to lock the
GenericObjectPool.
I've been analyzing the deadlock and it appears that the initial suggested
workaround of setting minIdle to 0. In my previous comment, the application did
have a minIdle setting of 1. However, in my latest deadlock, minIdle was set to
zero.
However, in both cases, the testWhileIdle is to true which appears to cause the
Evictor to run.
So to really avoid this issue, it appears that you should set minIdle to 0 AND
turn off testWhileIdle. Or is minIdle really enough (and I am missing
something?)

> The deadlock occurs when GenericObjectPool.addObject() calls synchronized
> method
> PoolableConnectionFactory.makeObject(), meanwhile static synchronized
> DriverManager.getConnection() is called. makeObject() waits for the lock on
> DriverManager to be released, whereas DriverManager waits for the lock on the
> PoolableConnectionFactory instance to be released.
> The Java program below, based on ManualPoolingDriverExample.java provided with
> DBCP, duplicates the deadlock for me within several seconds of being run:
> import java.sql.*;
> import org.apache.commons.pool.*;
> import org.apache.commons.pool.impl.*;
> import org.apache.commons.dbcp.*;

> The patch I initially suggest is as follows (sorry for not providing a diff):
> In org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.java we have:
> synchronized public Object makeObject() throws Exception {
> Connection conn = _connFactory.createConnection();
> if(null != _stmtPoolFactory) {
> KeyedObjectPool stmtpool = _stmtPoolFactory.createPool();
> conn = new PoolingConnection(conn,stmtpool);
> stmtpool.setFactory((PoolingConnection)conn);
> }
> return new PoolableConnection(conn,_pool,_config);
> }
> I suggest changing that to this:
> public Object makeObject() throws Exception {
> Connection conn = _connFactory.createConnection();
> synchronized (this) {
> if(null != _stmtPoolFactory) {
> KeyedObjectPool stmtpool = _stmtPoolFactory.createPool();
> conn = new PoolingConnection(conn,stmtpool);
> stmtpool.setFactory((PoolingConnection)conn);
> }
> return new PoolableConnection(conn,_pool,_config);
> }
> }
> Note the move of the synchronized block from the entire method to within the
> method after the connection (obtained ultimately by DriverManager) is
> retrieved.
> I'm afraid I don't know enough about DBCP and pooling to know the full
> ramification of this change and other calls to makeObject().
