[JXPATH] Possible Sychronization Problem

[Adam J Chesney <ad...@multicom.co.uk>]

Hi,

JXPath 1.1 running on Suse Linux 8.2, Sun JRE 1.4.2

We are using JXPath (which we think is great btw) in a highly multi-threaded environment where we are creating lots of contexts and we seem to be encountering an intermittent issue where a number of calls to 

jxp_context = JXPathContext.newContext(context);

in different threads at similar times are blocking indefinitely (or at least > 60 secs). 

Other threads are also accessing there own JXPath contexts (which were successfully created earlier) at the same time.

I have at a quick look into the JXPathContext source and it does seem that there is a bunch of synchronization of shared resources.

Has anyone noticed any similar deadlock problems before.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Adam Chesney
