Rob Baily updated WW-4409:
--------------------------
    Description: 
Similar to WW-3582.  Currently in the TokenInterceptor class in the handleToken 
method there is a lock on the session object and the handleInvalidToken method 
is called within that block. In our environment we overrode the 
handleInvalidToken and it turned out that when this method ran long that any 
other requests for the user were immediately blocked and the threads were 
locked up and unable process any further requests.  

I would like to see if we can change the handleToken method not to lock the 
session when calling the method to handle an invalid token.  I realize that 
ours may not be an ideal implementation and the base implementation should be 
fast but it does seem like the time an object is locked should be minimized.  I 
don't know if there is a reason that the invalid method would need to be in 
that block.

I am including a patch for the change on this.  It does not affect the tests 
and I do not know if there is a good way to add a test that would check the 
locking.
