Marc Layer commented on CXF-6674:
---------------------------------
After disabling the parallel processing feature, the problem has not recurred
so far in our production environment. (There was, however, also a change in the
Dynatrace instrumentation which might have brought in additional
synchronizations that may have helped to suppress the problem for now.)
Still, the busy loop in WrappedMessageContext.copyScoped() to me seems to be an
indicator that there is a slumbering thread synchronization issue somewhere in
the context handling code. Does this ring a bell with somebody? Any help would
be appreciated!

> We are using Apache Camel 2.12.3 and Apache CXF 2.7.10 to integrate some
> backend SOAP web services. In our production environment we are facing the
> issue that at irregular intervals a CXF worker thread would hang in a busy
> loop, consuming 100% CPU time. The only recovery so far is to restart the
> server.
> The loop seems to occur in
> org.apache.cxf.jaxws.context.WrappedMessageContext.copyScoped():
> {noformat}
> private void copyScoped(Map<String, Object> msg) {
> for (String s : scopes.keySet()) {
> message.put(s, msg.get(s));
> }
> }
> {noformat}
> I guess it might be related to a threading issue that causes the iterator of
> scopes.keySet() to loop infinitely. Using the VM monitoring tool Dynatrace, I
> can see that the iterated "scope" map is an unsynchronized HashMap. I am
> unsure where the "scope" map was created and how it could have leaked into
> another thread. "message" seems to be an instance of MessageImpl, which is
> also derived from HashMap and therefore unsynchronized. I attached a
> Dynatrace screenshot from one such invocation.
> Multi-threading in our case is two-fold:
> - CXF seems to be using separate worker threads even for synchronous
> invocations.
> - Additionally the call in question makes use of Camel's splitter EIP with
> parallel processing which also uses separate threads (RouteBuilder is
> attached), effectively like this:
> {noformat}
> .split(body(), dataAggregator)
> .stopOnException()
>
> .parallelProcessing().executorServiceRef("multicastExecutorService")
> .to("cxf:bean:backendService")
> {noformat}
> I analyzed a number of cases in which two web service calls were dispatched
> at the same time. Dynatrace shows that the backend web services always
> finished within about 80-130ms.
> Unfortunately we were unable to reproduce the error on a testing system where
> we could have attached a remote debugger to the application, not even under
> heavy load. It only occured in the production environment so far. Therefore I
> am uncertain if the problem only occurs when Camel's parallelProcessing() is
> used. We will disable this feature in the application's next release (end of
> next week) to verify this.
> There was another issue, CXF-6160 "AsyncResponse infinite loops", in which an
> infinite loop in MessageImpl was tackled by making ExchangeImpl a subclass of
> ConcurrentHashMap rather than a subclass of StringImpl (which is also derived
> from HashMap). Maybe these issues are related. The fix, however, was
> implemented only for CXF 3.x. Unfortunately we are bound to using Java 1.6 as
> Websphere 8 is only available for IBM JRE 1.6. The latest Camel version
> available for Java 1.6 comes with CXF 2.7.14, later Camel versions are only
> available for Java 1.7. I think we could easily upgrade to a newer 2.7.x
> version of CXF but not to CXF 3.x.
