Summary: Problem: MDB stops reacting 

Initial Comment:
I would like to report a potential bug.
I've made a post in Jboss forums and there was some 
responses from other people supposedly experiencing 
simular problems.

Below, I repeat the problem description and our current 
state of researching the roots of the problem:
=====
Setup:
Our system is centered around Jboss 3.0.4+Jetty 
running on AS400. In short, it handles HTTP requests :) 
Current (test environment) average load on the system is 
somewhere around 30 requests per minute, peak values 
so far were around 200. Production systems certainly as 
usual has to handle more.

The basic workflow/design of the system can be 
described as follows: 
- requests are picked up by the servlets
- each type of request is handled by separate servlet 
(actually the same class, but different config parameters 
through web.xml)
- servlet parses the request, composes an object 
message and submits it to the core via request JMS 
queue with one of the properties set to specific constant 
reflecting the request type
- servlet goes to timed-synchronous waiting cycle on 
response queue, if no response arrives from core in 10 
sec, a specific (timeout) response is sent to the client
- core "interface" is a set of MDB that call the rest 
(Session and Entity beans) or respond back directly 
through response queue. Instances of each different 
MDB class handle request messages only of a certain 
type specified via message selector in descriptor.

Problem:
After a certain time (~couple of days) one (or several, no 
system visible) MDBs stop responding to messages. In 
the logs it is visible that message was submitted to the 
queue, after that nothing happens, clients eventually 
receive timeout response. If we restart Jboss or 
stop/destroy/create/start the jar with MDB through JMX 
console everything starts working again.
===

I've noticed that in our case problems seem to start after 
the following message appears in the logs: "WARNING: 
NACK issued. The message consumer was not waiting 
for a message."

Also we've made some more detailed research of logs 
and Jboss source. After we enable tracing here is what 
we've got:

We've added some more trace statements. The 
subscription was definitely added, but there is no 
evidence that it is removed. So it looks like it magically 
dissappears :(

I am worried about one thing - in JbossMQ 
ClientConsumer source all operations on subsriptions 
HashMap are done in blocks synchronized on 
subscriptions object itself by making clones, operating 
on them and then setting subscriptions reference to the 
new object (as in the following code snippets). I am not 
sure why is it done like this, and I suspect that it 
actually breaks the idea of synchronization because as 
it looks right after the reference is changed another 
thread may acquire a lock on a new object, while the 
first thread is still holding a lock on the old one. Please 
take a look:
===
public void addSubscription(Subscription req) throws 
JMSException
{
if( log.isTraceEnabled() )
log.trace("Adding subscription for: " + req);
req.connectionToken = connectionToken;
req.clientConsumer = this;

JMSDestination jmsdest = (JMSDestination) 
server.getJMSDestination(req.destination);
if (jmsdest == null)
{
throw new JMSException("The destination " + 
req.destination + " does not exist !");
}

jmsdest.addSubscriber(req);

synchronized (subscriptions)
{
HashMap subscriptionsClone = (HashMap) 
subscriptions.clone();
subscriptionsClone.put(new Integer(req.subscriptionId), 
req);
subscriptions = subscriptionsClone;
}
}
===

public void close()
{
boolean trace = log.isTraceEnabled();
if( trace )
log.trace("" + this +"->close()");

synchronized (messages)
{
closed = true;
if (enqueued)
{
if( trace )
log.trace("" + this +"->close(): Cancelling work in 
progress.");
threadPool.cancelWork(this);
enqueued = false;
}
}

synchronized (subscriptions)
{
Iterator i = subscriptions.keySet().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
{
Integer subscriptionId = (Integer) i.next();
try
{
removeSubscription(subscriptionId.intValue());
}
catch(JMSException ignore)
{
}
}
}

// Nack the removed subscriptions, the connection is 
gone
HashMap removedSubsClone = (HashMap) ((HashMap) 
removedSubscriptions).clone();
Iterator i = removedSubsClone.values().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
{
Subscription removed = (Subscription) i.next();
JMSDestination queue = (JMSDestination) 
server.getJMSDestination(removed.destination);
if (queue == null)
log.warn("The subscription was registered with a 
destination that does not exist: " + removed);
try
{
queue.nackMessages(removed);
}
catch (JMSException e)
{
log.warn("Unable to nack removed subscription: " + 
removed, e);
}
}
}
