[jira] Commented: (JXPATH-76) CompiledExpression not completely thread-safe

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-76?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12469179 ] 

Simon Raess commented on JXPATH-76:
-----------------------------------

I've thought about that solution too, but the change without synchronized is pretty straightforward. Instead of lazy initialization, the initialization is simply moved to the constructor. There are no side-effects and the need of synchronization is completely removed. The cost of synchronization has to be paid for each expression evaluation. It is needed only on the first time. How else can I convince you? ;-)

> Some classes in compiled expressions are not thread-safe, because they lazily initialize some information that should be initialized at object construction. The classes I've found are Path and ExpressionPath. I've attached a path that fixes the problem. 
> When two threads tried to initialize such an object concurrently, it was possible that the expression was evaluated as simple expression when it should have been evaluated as complex expression. See the two stack traces below (using xpath expression //ExternalData/Order/@id). The first stack trace shows the bug in action, the second how it should look:
> caused by java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not supported node test for attributes: node()
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.axes.SimplePathInterpreter.getNodeIterator(SimplePathInterpreter.java(Compiled Code))
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.axes.SimplePathInterpreter.doStepNoPredicatesStandard(SimplePathInterpreter.java(Compiled Code))
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.axes.SimplePathInterpreter.doStep(SimplePathInterpreter.java(Compiled Code))
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.axes.SimplePathInterpreter.interpretSimpleLocationPath(SimplePathInterpreter.java(Inlined Compiled Code))
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.compiler.Path.getSingleNodePointerForSteps(Path.java(Inlined Compiled Code))

> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.JXPathContextReferenceImpl.getPointer(JXPathContextReferenceImpl.java(Compiled Code))
> 	at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.JXPathCompiledExpression.selectSingleNode(JXPathCompiledExpression.java(Inlined Compiled Code))
> This replaces the lines starting at Path.getSingleNodePointerForSteps:
>         LocationPath(Path).searchForPath(EvalContext) line: 183	
>         LocationPath(Path).getSingleNodePointerForSteps(EvalContext) line: 159
