This doesn't fix it.  I checked out Branch_3_0 this morning, built it and re ran my test and I still get the ConcurrentModificationException.   Regards Steve   -----Original Message----- From: Scott M Stark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 9:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JBoss-dev] Possible Synchronization Issue in UnifiedLoaderRepository2 I have ported the recent 3.2 class loader synch fixes to 3.0. In general class loading cannot synch on the loader as it leads deadlock. Resource lookups could probably synch on the resource map as I don't think it can induce class loading, but for now it synchs on the repository class.   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Short To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 1:29 PM Subject: [JBoss-dev] Possible Synchronization Issue in UnifiedLoaderRepository2 Hi folks, I am running the Jakarta James mail server in Jboss_3.0.2 and I'm frequently seeing ConcurrentModificationExceptions in the UnifiedLoaderRepository2 while Javamail is attempting to load it's protocol provider and address map properties files.  The full exception is:     java.util.ConcurrentModificationException         at java.util.HashMap$HashIterator.nextEntry(HashMap.java:762)         at java.util.HashMap$KeyIterator.next(HashMap.java:798)         at org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedLoaderRepository2.getResourceFromRepository(UnifiedLoaderRepository2.java:344)         at org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedLoaderRepository2.getResource(UnifiedLoaderRepository2.java:295)         at org.jboss.mx.loading.UnifiedClassLoader.getResource(UnifiedClassLoader.java:296)         at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(ClassLoader.java:941)         at java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream(Class.java:1298)         at javax.mail.Session.loadProviders(Session.java:771)         at javax.mail.Session.<init>(Session.java:81)         at javax.mail.Session.getInstance(Session.java:103)         at org.apache.james.transport.mailets.RemoteDelivery.run(Unknown Source)         at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536 I've taken a quick look at the UnifiedLoaderRepository2.java source file and it looks like there's something amiss with the synchronization around the classloader HashSets and their iterators.  Here's what the key methods do:   - loadClassFromRepository has no synchronization.   - getResourceFromRepository has no synchronization.   - getURLs synchronizes on the object instance (this).   - addClassLoader synchronizes at the class level (UnifiedLoaderRepository2.class)   - removeClassLoader synchronizes at the class level (UnifiedLoaderRepository2.class)   - findClass synchronizes on the object instance (this). When I change them all to synchronize on the object instance, everything seems to work OK. Steve
