I'm having a bunch of problems with Avalon in production... And I suppose they're kinda all interconnected.
I get some odd ConcurrentModificationException(s) and NullPointerException(s) all coming out from the component manager "release/dispose" methods: I suppose that, given that the ConcurrentModificationException comes out from my server log, Excalibur catches it, and it tries to dispose of a component, but at this point somehow somewhere it will throw a NullPointerException (uncaught, as it comes out in my System.err log)...
Now, after this sequence of exceptions, from time to time, I start getting things like IllegalStateException(s) mentioning that I cannot lookup components on a disposed ComponentLocator...
And this is BAD, because to get this working again, I have to SHUT DOWN COCOON, clean up my sitemaps and cocoon.xconf (I mean, removing them, and reverting back to my CVS version, don't ask my why, I don't know), restart it with these new "files" (which didn't change), and the exception goes away...
Bertrand's problem related to CVS $Id$ in comments makes me think to clock synchronisation problems between the CVS server and the Cocoon server (e.g. modification date moved back in time).
But what you describe here is really weird: there's absolutely no data related to sitemap or component manager that is persisted to disk.
Also, is your problem occuring when nothing changes in the system, or is it related to changes in the sitemap, like Bertrand's case?
