---------------------------------------

             Summary: ClassMapping is never initialized due to some synchronizatin problems
                 Key: OPENJPA-2422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2422
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jpa, kernel
    Affects Versions: 2.2.2
         Environment: Apache ServiceMix 4.5.2
            Reporter: Piotr Klimczak
            Priority: Blocker


After I have switched my software to ServiceMix 4.5.2 I have faced very strange blocking issue.
I have bidirection relation: OneToMany and ManyToOne that was working fine before switching to ServiceMix 4.5.2. 
After switching to ServiceMix 4.5.2 i am getting this Exception:

{code}

As I have done some debugging, it looks like as some synchronization problems in OpenJPA.
I'm getting this exception, because ClassMappings are constructed and putted into MODE_META state, before MetaDataRepository that owns them reaches MODE_MAPPING_INIT. So then when MetaDataRepository reaches MODE_MAPPING_INIT state, all ClassMappings are already in MODE_META state and will never be putted into MODE_MAPPING_INIT state as implemented in resolve method in MetaDataRepository:
{code}
    /**
     * Resolve the given metadata if needed. There are three goals:
     * <ol>
     * <li>Make sure no unresolved metadata gets back to the client.</li>
     * <li>Avoid infinite reentrant calls for mutually-dependent metadatas by allowing unresolved
     * metadata to be returned to other metadatas.</li>
     * <li>Always make sure the superclass metadata is resolved before the subclass metadata so that
     * the subclass can access the super's list of fields.</li>
     * </ol>
     * Note that the code calling this method is synchronized, so this method doesn't have to be.
     */
    private void resolve(ClassMetaData meta) {
        // return anything that has its metadata resolved, because that means
        // it is either fully resolved or must at least be in the process of
        // resolving mapping, etc since we do that right after meta resolve
        if (meta == null || _resMode == MODE_NONE || (meta.getResolve() & MODE_META) != 0)
            return;
{code}

So it makes ClassMapping's strategy impossible to initialize, once it reaches MODE_META state.

Due to above problem for example the RelationFieldStrategy will never get initialized, so then the FieldMetadata is set to _intermediate = false which causes OpenJPA to set the a LongId value to the field of type PARENT.

In my case, this is a blocker.
Unfortunately i am not able to write a testcase for this bug due to both: do not have a time for this and scenerio is way too complex- multithreaded app.

In my case problem occurs in aprox 95% app starts.
