Jaxrs/Jaxb unmarshaller code regularly causing performance problems & thread 
lock-up

                 Key: CXF-3180
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3180
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.3.1, 2.2.12, 2.2.11, 2.3.0, 2.2.10, 2.2.9, 2.2.8, 
2.2.7, 2.2.6
            Reporter: Willem Jiang
            Assignee: Willem Jiang
             Fix For: 2.3.2, 2.4


Please find below the details of the XML parsing performance bottleneck we are 
seeing when processing REST POST requests with XML bodies.
The performance issue is caused by the fact that CXF code creates a new JAXB 
Unmarshaller for every incoming request. The Unmarshaller is created quickly 
enough but when it is used to do the unmarshalling, it needs to create a Xerces 
SAXParser, which in turn calls DTDDVFactory.getInstance() and that method is 
synchronized. When we try to process more than 200-300 requests per second we 
start seeing a lot of threads blocked in DTDDVFactory.getInstance().

The thread stack of one of the blocked threads is:

The application where the problem is seen defines an XSD file and uses theJAXB 
compiler to create the data binding java class. It then creates a "RESTResouce" 
java class that is CXF/JAXRS annotated and contains a method that defines the 
processing of incoming POST requests. That method has one argument, the 
JAXB-compiled class, which tells CXF to unmarshall the XML body of the incoming 
request.

Just in case, you need more context, here is the top portion of the stack of 
the thread that is inside the synchronized method:
