Strange I missed that post ..



Unsynchronized access to WebContinuationsHolder from
invalidateContinuations() simultaneously with write access in
generateContinuation() should reliably cause
ConcurrentModificationException.


I do not quite get the problem. Doesn't it cause
ConcurrentModificationException now?


It should - I've not seen it though.



Other thing is how can invalidateContinuations and
generateContinuation be run concurrently. invalidateContinuations is
invoked only for expired sessions - how can new continuation be
generated for that session?


Bad example then. Here is better one:

 invalidateContinuations() gets Iterator on continuationsHolder.holder
map.
 invalidateContinuations() calls _invalidate()
 _invalidate() calls disposeContinuation()
 disposeContinuation() modifies continuationsHolder.holder map.

After that,

 invalidateContinuations() calls next() and causes
ConcurrentModificationException.

Seems to me invalidateContinuations() should have while(!empty) loop
instead of iterator.

Still HashMap has no interface other than iterator to get it's contents. you can either iterate through hashMap.iterator() or hashMap().keySet().iterator() - no difference, both are synced.

any ideas?


I've seen this problem with the 1.4.2_02 JDK, don't know if it exists
elsewhere. The Sun docs claim syncrhonizing on the hashMap should
solve the problem but it doesn't. The solution I came up with was to
build an array instead of using an iterator, eg:

                Object[] list = targetObjects.keySet().toArray();

I doubt it will work:

AbstractCollection.toArray() is in fact the implementation for HashMap.KeySet.toArray():

    public Object[] toArray() {
        Object[] result = new Object[size()];
        Iterator e = iterator();
        for (int i=0; e.hasNext(); i++)
            result[i] = e.next();
        return result;
    }

also uses iterator.
