[jira] [Created] (FELIX-3053) Potential deadlock if event handler throws Throwable and is bypassing timeout handling

Potential deadlock if event handler throws Throwable and is bypassing timeout handling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-3053
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3053
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Event Admin
    Affects Versions: eventadmin-1.2.12
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: eventadmin-1.2.14


If an event handler is bypassing the timeout handling (by configuration) and throws a throwable (like IllegalStateException), this can cause deadlocks as this is never catched and the internal state of the handlers goes out of sync.

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

With ususal timeout handling, this can't happen as the thread executor catches Throwables.
Added catching of throwables to the handler task in revision 1150645

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

Obviously, the description above was wrong: this happens only if an Error is thrown - and IllegalStateException is not an error but an exception which is handled correctly
