Description Jaroslav Tulach 2001-10-16 10:33:55 UTC

There has been a deadlock trouble in FolderChildren that resulted in creating
new request processor for calling setKeys (....) on children. The trouble was
that setKeys often blocked waiting to get write mutex access and the mutex was
hold by another thread waing for FolderChildren.findChild (...) method to
finish.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2001-10-16 10:35:11 UTC

It is not possible to solve this issue right now, but after the
enhancement described in issue #16432 will be implemented, please use
those methods and get rid of the FolderChildren thread.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2002-05-31 15:08:50 UTC

Note that without explicit help from #16432, you can use
RequestProcessor.getDefault().post(...) to post something which then
does Mutex.writeAccess. See ModuleBean for examples.

Comment 5 David Strupl 2003-02-23 23:01:38 UTC

Jarda, does this still apply? After recent changes in 
FolderChildren?

Comment 6 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-02-24 09:53:07 UTC

I think this is fixed now.

Comment 7 pzajac 2003-07-31 10:53:54 UTC

The deadlock didn't occured long time.
