>
> There exists the potential for deadlock with the ORM XML processing function.
> In an environment
> with multiple threads (such as an application server), operations (such as
> creating a new
> EntityManagerFactory or transformation Classloader activity) can lead to a
> point where
> a Xerces SAX Parser (acquired by XMLFactory) is constituted and executed.
> Xerces calls
> Thread.currentThread().getContextClassloader() during its execution to
> construct the
> SAXParser (via ObjectFactory.createObject()). This means that within the
> call to Xerces,
> a ClassLoader lock will be attempted on the Thread's ContextClassLoader. If
> there is already
> a lock with a ClassLoader higher in the heirarchy, and another thread with a
> lock on the
> same ContextClassLoader that is waiting to acquire a lock on a higher level
> ClassLoader, then
> a deadlock will occur.
> A solution to this problem is to temporally set the Thread's
> ContextClassLoader at the
> point where XML APIs are invoked (such as in XMLFactory, XMLMetaDataParser)
> to the
> ClassLoader that loaded the OpenJPA implementation classes. This will
> prevent Xerces from
> starting with a lower level classloader and avoid this deadlock potential.
