David M. Lloyd updated DIRMINA-497:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: DIRMINA-497-1.patch

Collections.synchronizedMap().

> Thread safety issue: incorrect usage of Collections.synchronizedMap in 
> DefaultIoSessionDataStructureFactory.DefaultIoSessionAttributeMap

> In trunk, the DefaultIoSessionAttributeMap.setAttributeIfAbsent() 
> synchronizes on the attributes map in order to synchronize access with the 
> other get/setAttribute methods. However, Collections.synchronizedMap does NOT 
> synchronize on the map itself, but rather an internal object!  So, 
> setAttributeIfAbsent() still contains a race condition.
> A good solution for 2.x would be to simply use a ConcurrentMap, which has 
> putIfAbsent().  For 1.0.x, which has to run on JDK 1.4 (correct?), I'd 
> recommend to just drop Collections.synchronizedMap() and synchronize directly 
> on the Map reference itself.
