Robbie Gemmell reopened QPID-2040: ---------------------------------- Assignee: Robbie Gemmell (was: Aidan Skinner) > failed update to the PlainPasswordFilePrincipalDatabase on disk may go > unnoticed, preventing broker restart > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: QPID-2040 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-2040 > Project: Qpid > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Java Broker > Affects Versions: 0.5 > Reporter: Robbie Gemmell > Assignee: Robbie Gemmell > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.6 > > > failed update to the PlainPasswordFilePrincipalDatabase on disk may go > unnoticed, preventing broker restart > Certain use of the File.renameTo() function is not accompanied by a check of > the boolean result, meaning a failed rename can leave the file in the wrong > location, but the cached nature of the PlainPasswordFilePrincipalDatabase > masks the failure until another operation is attempted upon it that needs the > output of the previously failed update. This has been observed in a situation > where the OS Temp dir is on one (local) file system, and the broker > configuration is on another (remote NFS) filesystem, which caused the rename > to fail unnoticed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:dev-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
