---------------------------------------
Summary: Simplify locking in URLHandlers
Key: FELIX-4544
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4544
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Task
Components: Framework
Affects Versions: framework-4.4.0
Reporter: David Bosschaert
Priority: Minor
The URLHandlers class has a lot of complicated synchronization which makes it
hard to predict its behaviour wrt to deadlocks. Currently this class
synchronizes on 5 objects: the URL.class object, the this object,
m_classloaderToFrameworkLists, m_frameworks and m_builtIn.
While it might be that all these locks are needed, it would be nice to
investigate whether this class could be refactored to use less synchronization
so that there are less chances of deadlocks.
