[Bug 62871] New: JMX: ThreadPool.socketProperties is not Serializable

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62871

            Bug ID: 62871
           Summary: JMX: ThreadPool.socketProperties is not Serializable
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.5.x-trunk
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Util
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: moio@suse.de
  Target Milestone: ----

Trivial patch that addresses this bug

Some JMX clients such as Prometheus'[1] jmx_exporter[2] will bulk-load all
attributes of an MBean for performance reasons. This means that one
non-Serializable attribute is sufficient to make all information from the MBean
inaccessible.


I could readily reproduce a problem with the ThreadPool MBean, specifically
with the socketProperties property which is not Serializable.

Reproducer:

# enable JMX's full logging
cat >logging.properties <<<"
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=ALL
io.prometheus.jmx.level=ALL
io.prometheus.jmx.shaded.io.prometheus.jmx.level=ALL
"

# configure reading from a local Tomcat instance with JMX configured on port
3333
cat >config.yml <<<"
hostPort: localhost:3333
whitelistObjectNames:
  - Catalina:type=ThreadPool,name=*
rules:
  - pattern: ".*"
"

# launch jmx_exporter
/usr/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -jar
jmx_prometheus_httpserver.jar 5556 jmx_exporter.yml


Visiting with a browser http://localhost:5556/metrics will trigger jmx_exporter
and the following error is produced:

FINE: scrape:

        java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted;

I have successfully tested a trivial patch that simply makes socketProperties
protected instead of public - this does not seem to have negative consequences
at least in the environment I tested it in (Tomcat 8.0.53 as shipped in SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3). Patch is attached to this bug.


I do not really know Tomcat (and not even JMX, to be honest) to know if this
patch is really acceptable or if it's really oversimplified, as this is my
first contribution!

8.0.x is no longer supported.

If you made a similar change in 8.5.x I'm fairly sure you'd just hit the next
unserializable attribute.

Changing visibility is not really the right solution as it just hides the
information and there is a lot of valuable data in that attribute. Making the
attribute Serializable is one option but that requires that either the class is
present on the JMX client's class path or RMI is enabled to load the class
remotely.

In this instance, making SocketProperties Serializable will just move the
problem as a bunch of its attributes will then fail. Creating a separate MBean
for SocketProperties has the same issue.

Similar issues exist throughout the Tomcat MBeans. Looking at your config, am I
correct in thinking you are just interested in the ThreadPool MBeans?

--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
The root cause is that the Endpoint (ThreadPool) MBeans are generated via
introspection so it is non-trivial to filter out unwanted attributes and/or
operations. If an mbeans-descriptors.xml was used, the filtering would be
trivial as the entries could just be removed.

There are a lot of attributes so manually generating the content for an
mbeans-descriptors.xml file would be time consuming. I've created a tool to
extract this data using the introspection code as a starting point:
https://github.com/markt-asf/tomcat-bugs/blob/master/src/java/org/apache/tomcat/MBeanDump.java

That allowed me to easily create an mbeans-descriptors.xml file for the
Endpoints which I then edited to remove the broken attributes and operations. I
also added a SWocketProperties Mbean although that looks like it would benefit
from some refactoring.

Fixed in:
- trunk for 9.0.13 onwards
- 8.5.x for 8.5.35 onwards
