Rahul Akolkar updated SCXML-65:
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 0.8

Please try one or more of the following things:

 * From the stack trace, it looks like you are triggering events asynchronously 
through a custom action. Generally, custom actions work better with derived 
events instead (add the event based on the HTTP response to the 'derivedEvents' 
collection).

 * Alternatively (as compared to above bullet which I'd try first), you could 
try registering a 'x-http' targettype invoker and using <invoke 
targettype="x-http" ...>

 * Looking at the trace above (and v0.7 as you indicate to match line numbers), 
I've made one minor "first-hit" performance improvement to the code in SVN 
trunk. It'd be useful to know if that helps the cause here (if you are in a 
position to be able to try a jar built out of SVN).

 * If none of the above works, try parsing a separate state machine instance 
(SCXML class instance) for each SCXMLExecutor instance. This shouldn't be 
necessary, but if it is here, then this may have uncovered a bug.

In the absence of a test case, it'd be great if you could give us some feedback 
on the above suggestions. Thanks.

> i'm using SCXML state machines in a load generation tool. this tool simulates 
> a client connected to a server.
> the SCXML script used custom actions to send a request using a HTTP based 
> protocol.
> the HTTP response is transformed into a event and inserted into the SCXML 
> script using triggerEvent().
> each SCML executor has 1 dedicated http connection.  i'm using around 2 to 
> 10000 clients depending on the 
> test scenario's.
> During execution of the scripts a get sporatic nullpointer exceptions. this 
> DOESN'T happen all the time , it is hard to reproduce but when it happens ALL 
> clients have the same problem. resetting the SCXML exector doesn't help
