Heavily reused "default" Work Queue Problem
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2220
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2.1
            Reporter: Richard Opalka


Hi CXF Team,

  We're fighting with threading+classloading related issues when testing 
JBossWS-CXF integration.
The problematic part is WorkQueueManagerImpl.getAutomaticWorkQueue() method that
is reused in the following three places in CXF code base.

[/home/opalka][/home/opalka/THIRDPARTY/CXF/SVN/tags/cxf-2.2.1]>grep -r 
getAutomaticWorkQueue * | grep -v "\.svn" | grep -v Test | grep -v workqueue
rt/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/interceptor/OneWayProcessorInterceptor.java:
                .getAutomaticWorkQueue().execute(new Runnable() {
rt/transports/http/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/transport/http/HTTPConduit.java:
                    queue = mgr.getAutomaticWorkQueue();
rt/ws/addr/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/ws/addressing/ContextUtils.java:        
                   :  workQueueManager.getAutomaticWorkQueue();

This method constructs "default" worker threads pool on first request and this 
thread pool is 
heavily reused by CXF for other applications. We see the following problem on 
our server side:

When this "default" worker threads pool gets constructed all its worker threads 
have associated
classloader of the calling thread (in our case calling thread has associated 
web application classloader).
This is how Java threads are constructed (they inherit the parent thread 
classloader).
This thread pool is heavily reused by CXF for other applications.
The problem will appear when we undeploy the web application (the one that 
worker threads have associated
classloader with). After undeployment of that archive all worker threads will 
throw ClassNotFoundException when passed
jobs will try to do something with the classloader. Here's the sample stack 
trace:

To prevent these kinds of problems I had to implement the patches to don't 
reuse "default" worker threads pool.
See attached HttpConduit.java patch how to achieve that.

Could you apply the patch for all three CXF souce files where "default" worker 
threads pool is reused?

The solution is to use e.g. Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor() instead of 
WorkQueueManagerImpl.getAutomaticWorkQueue() method.

Thanks,

JBossWS Team

PS: BTW, it took many hours of heavy debugging to identify this issue :(
