Vadim Gritsenko commented on COCOON-2109:
-----------------------------------------

Jorg  - sort is happening on insert.

Miguel - what I meant is to do
  set.remove(w);
  w.setLastAccessTime();
  set.add(w);

Of course if somebody calls setLastAccessTime from outside, this code would 
have to be refactored if implementing approach above.

> Incorrent cleanup of expired continuations

>             Project: Cocoon
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: - Flowscript
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.8, 2.1.9, 2.1.10, 2.1.11-dev (Current 
> SVN)

>
> The class ContinuationsManagerImpl is in charge of cleaning up expired 
> continuations. It does so in the method expireContinuations. In this method 
> there is a loop using an iterator over a SortedSet of continuations 
> (WebContinuation). The loop is expecting that the continuations are ordered 
> from oldest to newest.  The loop stops in the first continuation that is not 
> expired. The logic is correct since all the newer continuations could not be 
> expired.
> However, the problem comes from the ordering of the continuations. To have 
> the continuations ordered by lastAccessTime the program uses a TreeSet as a 
> container of the continuations. The continuations implement the compareTo 
> interface using the lastAccessTime and when a continuation is inserted in the 
> container, it gets correctly ordered. But after the insertion, the 
> continuation can change its lastAccessTime using the method 
> WebContinuation.updateLastAccessTime() called from 
> WebContinuation.getContinuation(). The ordering of the TreeSet is not updated 
> with the change and when the program iterates over it, it does not get the 
> continuations in the order expected.
> The result of this bug is that under hevy load many expired continuations may 
> be around before the loop actually clean them up, eating memory resources and 
> causing OutOfMemory.
> To fix it, a patch is provided that uses a HashSet for the continuations 
> container and loops over all the continuations to check if they have expired.
