Patrick Linskey updated OPENJPA-115:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
Running some benchmarks against OpenJPA using the Sun Java System (SunOne) 
application server. Under load, we're not able to push the cpu to 100%. The 
culprit seems to be the lock and synchronization processing within 
AbstractBrokerFactory.newBroker(..). According to sections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2 in 
the JPA specification, it looks like OpenJPA is attempting to do too much 
management of the created EntityManagers. Within a Container-managed 
environment, the Container takes care of the lifecycle of the EntityManagers. 
So, there does not seem to be a need to do the findBroker(..) invocation, nor 
is there a need to keep track of the created EntityManagers (_brokers) so that 
they can be closed when the Factory is closed. 

Once we have verified these changes, there may be others that are needed. But, 
we have to get by this bottleneck first before going to the next layer...

The null problem is probably due to references being garbage collected -- this 
is a typical side-effect of weak reference collection types. The improved 
concurrency is typically worth the extra difficulty of checking for nulls, 
though.
