While events where still being propagated, one > DelegateFileObject removed itself as an event listener. This caused an > index-of-range problem in AbstractFileSystem.fireEvent because the listener > list had shrunk, but the "count" had already been fixed. > It appears that the current implementation of fireEvent is not entirely > thread safe, if event handlers can still change the listener list in place. I > will attach a patch that works for me. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
