Category: JBossMQ Group: v3.0 Rabbit Hole Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Assigned to: Adrian Brock (ejort) 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: 2003-03-06 16:34:21,068 TRACE [1046964853752:TracingInterceptor] CALLED : receive 2003-03-06 16:34:21,082 TRACE [1046964853752:TracingInterceptor] ARG : -2147473121 2003-03-06 16:34:21,090 TRACE [1046964853752:TracingInterceptor] ARG : -1 2003-03-06 16:34:21,090 TRACE [1046964853752:ServerSecurityInterceptor] Checking receive authorize on SpyDistributedConnection:ID:78/ca35b8c9ad1c166f2156 0d812148ea9e subId=-2147473121 2003-03-06 16:34:21,092 TRACE [1046964853752:TracingInterceptor] EXCEPTION : receive: javax.jms.JMSException: The provided subscription does not exist java/lang/Throwable.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+4 (Throwable.java:90) javax/jms/JMSException.<init> (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V+0 (JMSException.java:0) javax/jms/JMSException.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+0 (JMSException.java:0) org/jboss/mq/server/ClientConsumer.getSubscription(I) Lorg/jboss/mq/Subscription;+0 (ClientConsumer.java:0) org/jboss/mq/server/JMSDestinationManager.getSubscri ption(Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;I) Lorg/jboss/mq/Subscription;+0 (JMSDestinationManager.java:0) org/jboss/mq/server/JMSServerInterceptorSupport.getSub scription(Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;I) Lorg/jboss/mq/Subscription;+0 (JMSServerInterceptorSupport.java:0) org/jboss/mq/security/ServerSecurityInterceptor.receive (Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;IJ) Lorg/jboss/mq/SpyMessage;+0 (ServerSecurityInterceptor.java:0) org/jboss/mq/server/TracingInterceptor.receive (Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;IJ) Lorg/jboss/mq/SpyMessage;+0 (TracingInterceptor.java:0) org/jboss/mq/server/JMSServerInvoker.receive (Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;IJ) Lorg/jboss/mq/SpyMessage;+0 (JMSServerInvoker.java:0) org/jboss/mq/il/jvm/JVMServerIL.receive (Lorg/jboss/mq/ConnectionToken;IJ) Lorg/jboss/mq/SpyMessage;+0 (JVMServerIL.java:0) org/jboss/mq/Connection.receive (Lorg/jboss/mq/Subscription;J) Lorg/jboss/mq/SpyMessage;+0 (Connection.java:0) org/jboss/mq/SpyMessageConsumer.receiveNoWait() Ljavax/jms/Message;+0 (SpyMessageConsumer.java:0) com/vocognition/talkface/jms/JMSModel.checkNoWaitFo rReplyTo (Lcom/vocognition/talkface/talkman/TalkmanMessage;) Lcom/vocognition/talkface/talkman/ModelMessage;+0 (JMSModel.java:73) com/vocognition/talkface/talkman/LUTHandler.service (Lcom/vocognition/talkface/talkman/TalkmanRequest;Lco m/vocognition/talkface/talkman/TalkmanResponse;)V+0 (LUTHandler.java:27) com/vocognition/talkface/protocol/tfshttp/JMSServlet.doG et (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http /HttpServletResponse;)V+0 (JMSServlet.java:112) javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.service (Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/http /HttpServletResponse;)V+0 (HttpServlet.java:0) javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.service (Ljavax/servlet/ServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/ServletResp onse;)V+0 (HttpServlet.java:0) org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/ServletHolder.handle (Ljavax/servlet/ServletRequest;Ljavax/servlet/ServletResp onse;)V+0 (ServletHolder.java:334) org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/WebApplicationHandler.dispatc h (Ljava/lang/String;Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest; Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse;Lorg/mortbay/jett y/servlet/ServletHolder;)V+0 (WebApplicationHandler.java:201) org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/ServletHandler.handle (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/mortbay/http/Htt pRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpResponse;)V+0 (ServletHandler.java:518) org/mortbay/http/HttpContext.handle (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/mortbay/http/Htt pRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpResponse;)Z+0 (HttpContext.java:1665) org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/WebApplicationContext.handle (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/mortbay/http/Htt pRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpResponse;)Z+0 (WebApplicationContext.java:540) org/mortbay/http/HttpContext.handle (Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpR esponse;)Z+0 (HttpContext.java:1576) org/mortbay/http/HttpServer.service (Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpR esponse;)Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpContext;+0 (HttpServer.java:840) org/jboss/jetty/Jetty.service (Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpR esponse;)Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpContext;+0 (Jetty.java:543) org/mortbay/http/HttpConnection.service (Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpRequest;Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpR esponse;)Lorg/mortbay/http/HttpContext;+0 (HttpConnection.java:804) org/mortbay/http/HttpConnection.handleNext()Z+0 (HttpConnection.java:871) org/mortbay/http/HttpConnection.handle()V+0 (HttpConnection.java:822) org/mortbay/http/SocketListener.handleConnection (Ljava/net/Socket;)V+0 (SocketListener.java:176) org/mortbay/util/ThreadedServer.handle (Ljava/lang/Object;)V+0 (ThreadedServer.java:287) org/mortbay/util/ThreadPool$JobRunner.run()V+0 (ThreadPool.java:658) java/lang/Thread.run()V+11 (Thread.java:484) 2003-03-06 16:34:21,097 TRACE [1046964853752:TracingInterceptor] RETURN : receive 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); } } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-09-26 17:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 Adrian, thanks for quick response. At 9pm customer stopped working. I don't think there was any problem with that. Then at 1 am the kill Jboss process (we've asked them several times not to do this but so far they don't listen) Then they start it again automatically. The problem is that by morning the number of receivers on the "from-talkman" queue is 27, while actually it is 28. If I redeploy the application it goes back to 28. If I shutdown Jboss and start it again I will get 27 again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adrian Brock (ejort) Date: 2003-09-26 17:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=9459 I'm not sure what I'm looking at: Your logs show everything stops at 9pm (was that a deadlock, did you take a threaddump?) You reboot at 1am, there are only three messages in the system, which are persistent messages recovered in to-talkman during recovery. Everything else is listening on empty destinations.

It has 28 MDB's listening with selectors. If I start Jboss with my ear already being in the deploy dir the queue reports (in JMX view) 27 receivers. Then I "touch" my ear, it gets redeployed and receivers are back to 28. I cannot confirm that the problem exists in exactly the same form as it used to be (MDB going offline after some time) but at least it is very related one. Should I open a different bug & enable logging in something different? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-09-04 16:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 No, we haven't yet, cause we managed to convince ourselves that it has been solved with 3.0.8 Now, to define it more clearly today I witness the following: There is queue.

Yes, we took 3.0.8 and it seems to be working, at least here in the office we were not able to break it. We have delivered the version with 3.0.8 to the customer and now we just have to wait when their IT department installs it. Personally, I think you can close this bug.

Regards, Adrian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adrian Brock (ejort) Date: 2003-05-14 17:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=9459 Hi Eduard, I had a quick look at your logs over the weekend but I didn't come to any conclusion. I have a suspicion that are there are two problems that maybe related? 1) The Nack when not waiting for a message in the temporary reply queue. 2) The MDB not receiving any messages. If it is a deadlock you should be able to get a thread dump on windows using a ctrl-break. If you are using java 1.3 start jboss with -Xdebug so you can see what is locked. The logs you included did not include the full trace. information. Do you have the trace nterceptor configured in jbossmq-service.xml? Can you run it with it with TRACE enabled for org.jboss.mq but use INFO for the very noisy org.jboss.mq.server.MessageCache org.jboss.mq.server.MessageReference For the mdb you will also want to include org.jboss.jms org.jboss.ejb.plugins.jms Also the class org.jboss.mq.MessageConsumer which is where the NACK occurs doesn't have much TRACE logging. You might want to add some, in particular the changes for field waitingForMessage Regards, Adrian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-05-14 17:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 Adrian, we have the same problem with Jboss 3.2.1 on Windows, looks like a thread deadlock or something. Silly question, but would thread dumps, trace logs help? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-05-09 12:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 Adrian, We just tried it with 3.2.1 - same problem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-05-09 11:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 Adrian, We experience the same problem with Jboss 3.0.7 and Jboss 3.2.0.

I was thinking about this as well after I've seen your answer to some other bug. I will try it today. Attached are the server and trace logs. Jboss was just started. It has began answering requests with several MDBs (you can search for thread signatures 1050489832192, 1050489845715, 1050489880169, 1050489913857, 1050489922977, 1050489948331, 1050489976720, 1050490009021 to see it). Then a request came for GetAssignmentPuts (see 1050490010994, 1050490048469, 1050490082657, 1050480116032) that should have invoked GetAssignmentPutsMDB but never did. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adrian Brock (ejort) Date: 2003-04-16 20:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=9459 Yes, attach the trace logs. Preferably the relevent part where it goes offline and a bit before. Is it possible for you test this with jboss3.0.7? There have been a number of fixes since 3.0.4 that could be relevent. One was a fix where the subscription ids were not being generated uniquely. Another was a fix to the message consumer where it could stall if it nacked a message that had passed its time to live. Another was to update to the latest concurrent.jar Regards, Adrian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eduard Letifov (techtime) Date: 2003-04-16 19:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=438410 Adrian, I have applied the patch, and deployed it as the customer's but unfortunately it haven't solved the main problem. MDB goes "offline" almoust everyday, and sometimes right from the start of the server. Please, can you at least direct me where to look next? BTW. I do have the trace logs, should I attach them here? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adrian Brock (ejort) Date: 2003-03-14 20:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=9459 I've changed the ClientConsumer to not clone the subscriptions, except when iterating at close to avoid concurrent modification exceptions. The semantics of this synchronization are wrong. There are two other locations in the code doing a similar thing. The changes for these are still outstanding so I haven't closed this bug report yet.
