[jira] [Commented] (XMLBEANS-328) Problems in multi-processor environment

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-328?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13642747#comment-13642747 ] 

Daniel Ewing commented on XMLBEANS-328:
---------------------------------------

Can anyone please provide an update on this threading defect?  Is it fixed in any release build of xbean.jar?  If not, what would it take to get this on the schedule for being fixed?  It sure likely that it is a fairly simple issue of unsynchronized access to a map causing the exception.

> This problem problem occurs in xmlbeans 2.2. and in the latest version in SVN. The problem disappears when I turn the multi-core support off from BIOS and reappears again immediently when I turn it back on. So I believe that this has something to do with threading. Only classes Locale.java and Cur.java seem to be affected. I haven't encountered any exceptions from other classes.
