[jira] Updated: (DERBY-654) unit/T_RawStoreFactory.unit fails with an assert failure in J2ME/CDC/FP

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-654?page=all ]

Sunitha Kambhampati updated DERBY-654:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: derby654.diff.txt
                Derby654.stat.txt

As I was preparing to disable this test from running in the j9 vms, I ran this test one more time and it failed on my machine (win2k/t40). Looking at the diff, it is similar to the stack trace attached to this jira. 

1)I looked little bit at the code and I think this is the reason that a null arg is passed to the update(Observable obj,Object arg). 

In Xact.doComplete(), notifyObservers is called either with a commit or abort. After this step, in debug block, there is a check to countObservers and if observers!= 0, then another notifyObservers call is made with an arg of null.  This notify call is sending an arg of null and hence the update of TruncateOnCommit is getting a null arg and the assert failure. 

2) I put printlns and noticed that the first notifyObserver call in Xact.doComplete is actually making to the TruncateOnCommit and there it calls deleteObserver.  I am just not sure why the countObservers does not become 0. My guess is it maybe some timing issue.
Put checks in Xact.preComplete and verified that none of the corrupt conditions were happening here.

-- I quickly tried if i could run with 10.2 derbyTesting.jar with 10.1 derby.jar but hit a npe in harness stuff. Didnt spend much time looking at it. 

In the meantime, I am attaching a patch (derby654.diff.txt) to disable this test with the wctme5.7 foundation and wsdd5.6.

I think we should keep this bug open and someone can look at it and investigate whats the cause for this in the j9 vms. 

If this is ok, can someone please review and commit this patch. Thanks.

> I am thinking this is a bug and opening a JIRA issue since I did not get any response to my question in derby-dev. One more thing I noticed is this test passes in 10.1 branch.  It is failing only in trunk.
> The test unit/T_RawStoreFactory.unit fails with an assert failure in CDC/FP. This failure looks like an intermittent one though it is failing all the time now. I have run this test successfully some time back. I would like to find out if this is a bug (Derby or jvm) or just an intermittent failure. I am using j9 foundation  from IBM WCTME5.7.

> On looking at the code, I did not understand how this assert failure can happen. The assert is thrown in following code in TruncateOnCommit: 
> public void update(Observable obj, Object arg) {
>        if (SanityManager.DEBUG) {
>                if (arg == null)
>                SanityManager.THROWASSERT("still on observer list " + this);
>        }
> I am puzzled by how 'arg' can become null in this case. As I understand, 'update' method of each Observer gets called by the notifyObserver method in java.util.Observable class. notifyObserver passes 'arg', which describes the type of change, as the second argument to update. In this code path, 'arg' passed to notifyObserver is RawTransaction.COMMIT (which is not null).  However the code has an assert to check for null value which means there is some situation where the 'arg' can become null.  I have not understood what causes this situation but it is always being hit when running in this environment.
