Solution: When a thread goes through loadClass, in the ULR we "lock" with a field that tracks the thread.
Another thread comes in, reaches ULR, we sync on the calling CL (we know it) we wait, this releases the lock, we keep track of the CL as part of this "load". The first thread will always find a CL as no CL can be locked for ever, since the thread that would reach the ULR would wait. First thread always finishes (with reentrancy so the count must go on and we track the fact that it is the same thread). When count reaches 0 we get the set of CL that were touched by this thread (i.e. the set of CLs that had threads in it) and we notifyAll on each element of the set, start this again. Done (afaict), I will try to apply it to the stack trace below. |I brought this thing back to life and passed the URL of the orginal sun |bug that they rejected. Here is a quick stack trace of the deadlock. |Note that you should start jboss with the -Xdebug options so it shows |you what objects that it is trying to lock.
