[jira] Updated: (XMLBEANS-388) XmlBeans can Deadlock Threads

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-388?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul Hepworth updated XMLBEANS-388:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
The situation can occur when calling a setter on an XmlObject which synchronizes on Locale A, to set an XmlObject which synchronizes on Locale B at the same time as calling a setter on an XmlObject which synchronizes on Locale B to set an XmlObject which synchronizes on Locale A.

The code within XmlObjectBase is fine, but the problem lies in the generated code compiled from a schema. 

The code that is generated contains a synchronized block on the monitor (Locale A or B depending on the object), and then delegates to the XmlObjectBase set method, which detects that you need to lock more than 1 Locale and so acquires a GlobalLock and then synchronizes on both monitors. 

As another thread can be doing the reverse, you can end up with 2 threads, one with Locale A locked, and one with Locale B locked. The first one then acquires a GlobalLock, but can never obtain a lock on the other Locale.

The attached code can produce the following:
run:
     [java] Thread:main:RUNNABLE:true
     [java]     java.lang.Thread.dumpThreads:-2
     [java]     java.lang.Thread.getAllStackTraces:1487
     [java]     Deadlock.main:21

     [java]     org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.common.Mutex.acquire:33
     [java]     org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.common.GlobalLock.acquire:27
     [java]     org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase.set:2049
     [java]     noNamespace.impl.ObjectBTypeImpl.setObjectA:-1
     [java]     MyThread.run:49
     [java] Thread:Thread-1:BLOCKED:true
     [java]     org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase.set:2054
     [java]     noNamespace.impl.ObjectATypeImpl.setObjectB:-1
     [java]     MyThread.run:48
     [java] Java Result: 1

As you can see, one thread is waiting on the GlobalLock, and the other has the lock and is waiting for a lock on the other Locale (XmlObjectBase.set:2049).
