> In most of the servicemix-http component versions, including the latest, there is a variable called isSTFlow which is a class variable.  This variable appears to be shared among all threads that access a deployed servicemix-http component.  The problem with this is that isSTFlow is set by a certain request based upon the state of it's continuation when the exchange response is processed here:
> if (!cont.isPending()) {
>             isSTFlow = true;
>             System.out.println("isSTFlow set to true because continuation isn't pending.");
>         } else {
>             isSTFlow = false;
>             System.out.println("isSTFlow set to false because continuation is pending.");
> If isSTFlow is set to true during that response.. all future requests that come in will then end up executing this code block on line 348:
> } else {
>                         String id = (String)request.getAttribute(MessageExchange.class.getName());
>                         System.out.println("STFlow was true, removing exchange with id: " + id);
>                         locks.remove(id);
>                         exchange = exchanges.remove(id);
>                         request.removeAttribute(MessageExchange.class.getName());
>                     }
> before the exchange associated with the request has had a chance to return.  Once that exchange has returned, it can't be found, because it was removed and throws a timeout error.  Once isSTFlow becomes true, the component hits a race condition where it checks isSTFlow for true before the async call has a chance to return and immediately times out the exchange.  This variable needs to be localized for each specific request, not global to all requests.
