I had to revise your new MiddleObject.py to put the
"_mk_cacheLock = threading.RLock()"
statement at the module level rather than in the MiddleObject __init__ method.
A new MiddleObject instance is being created with each request so putting the
lock inside the object instance does not force single-threading through the
readStoreData method.
While doing some more testing, I found that the problem is largely dependent
upon Firefox 3. I have a static web page with 12 images and graphs that are
generated by individual calls to Webware/MiddleKit. To run the test that
creates the conditions for failure, I must restart the AppServer, clear the
browser cache, and reload the page.
Firefox 3 almost always causes the failure, Safari for Windows and Google
Chrome rarely cause the failure, and IE 7 and Opera 9 never cause the failure
(so far).
The MiddleKit test suite does not run for me either.
I will look over the 3 other 3 MiddleKit changes in the queue and update them
for 1.0Rc1. It will probably take me about 2 weeks to get around to the task.
