I guess that's only really possible through a slip-up in the top- level exception handling... hmmm... thanks.

Or sleep()

or terminate() not calling super or throwing an exception

. Or two requests for a session coming very close together and the first calling terminate() on the session (e.g. double clicking a Logout link or Ajax fun).
Does this actually happen? I haven't heard this one before ... I would have expected terminate to still hold the lock until the request is done. Not true?


Yeah, this happens.

This bug happens when multiple requests for a session come in before the first request completes (Ajax on the page can cause this) and the first request calls terminate() on the session (e.g. from a log out link or in response to an exception during request processing). The session terminates properly, but the threads for the other queued requests for the now terminated sessions are stuck. This prevents the app from restarting under wotaskd control (other than force quitting it). An example trace from one such stuck thread (highly mutilated, not my fault):
