Hi Masayoshi,

Just a thought. What if RB.clearCache(classLoader) was specified as equivalent to RB.clearCache(classLoader.getUnnamedModule()) ?

I think that would be backwards compatible...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for bringing up the semantics issue of clearCache. You are right. There's some semantics change in clearCache(ClassLoader). Let me look into it.

The format field-related changes look good to me.

Thanks,
Masayoshi

Hi Masayosh, Alan,

Thanks for looking at the change.

I suppose application containers are already accustomed to invoke ResourceBundle.clearCache(ClassLoader) when undeploying an application so that the corresponding ClassLoader can get GCed right away. But there's a change in the semantics of this method that Jigsaw introduced...

Before Jigsaw, this method was specified to:

     * Removes all resource bundles from the cache that have been loaded
     * using the given class loader.

After Jigsaw, this method is specified to:

     * Removes all resource bundles from the cache that have been loaded
     * by the caller's module using the given class loader.


Now suppose that the "caller's module" that loads the bundle is the application's module and the module that clears the cache is the container's module. The app's cache won't get cleared. I understand that the change in semantics was an attempt to "isolate" modules among themselves so that one module could not clear the cache of another module if they happen to map to the same class loader, but this also means that an application container can't easily clear the cache of the application it wishes to undeploy unless it uses the new ResourceBundle.clearCache(Module) method on each application's module before undeploying it.

I also wonder if the change of the semantics of this method is backwards compatible. Suppose that some container is using this method to clear the cache of the application loaded by say "classloaderA" before undeploying it. It calls ResourceBundle.clearCache(classloaderA). Now suppose the container code is loaded by some other class loader (say "classloaderC") which is usually the case in today's containers. Both container and application classes are part of the unnamed modules of their corresponding class loaders. With the change in the semantics of this method introduced by jigsaw, the container will not clear the cache of the application any more since the container module is not the same as the application module (they are distinct unnamed modules).

Anyway, I noticed an inconsistency in my webrev.04 immediately after posting it a week ago. I was off for a week then, so now that I'm back, here's the corrected webrev of my proposed change:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/ResourceBundle.cleanup/webrev.05/

The only real change of logic compared to webrev.04 is that I moved the "format" field from the LoadSession (previous CacheKey) to ResourceBundle itself. This field is needed to hold the bundle's format for invoking the Control.needsReload() method. It is not semantically correct to use the value from the LoadSession as done in webrev.04. This has to be the value that the bundle was created with, so it belongs to the bundle itself. In original code it was taken from the cloned CacheKey that was attached to the bundle.

All other changes from webrev.04 are limited to ResourceBundle.java file and include some comments and nits that don't change the overall logic. All ResourceBundle tests still pass.

The diff from webrev.04 is the following:

In my opinion, the change of the semantics of ResourceBundle.clearCache(ClassLoader) could be tolerated if the invocation of that method was not a requirement for application containers to be able to unload the app's class loader. With my proposed change to caching it is not a requirement any more.

Hi Peter,

The change (ResourceBundle part) looks very good to me. There's a simple workaround for the problem -- call ResourceBundle.clearCache(ClassLoader). So I don't know how serious the problem is, though. I still like this change.

Yes, the comment in ReferenceTest should be removed.

Hi Masayoshi,

Here's a preview of work to migrate ResourceBundle caching to using ClassLoaderValue utility:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/ResourceBundle.cleanup/webrev.04/

The changes are very straightforward. They preserve the general structure of the logic. I renamed the CacheKey nested class to LoadSession as it now only functions as a mutable object passed around the methods while executing the getBundle() process. LoadSession is now a factory for ClassLoaderValue cache key. I moved the loadTime and expirationTime fields from LoadSession (old CacheKey) to ResourceBundle. As each cached entry must maintain it's own loadTime/expirationTime, I changed the NONEXISTENT_BUNDLE constant into a private subclass of ResourceBundle. The back-link from ResourceBundle to CacheKey is not needed any more. There is a backlink from BundleReference to ClassLoaderValue key and the associated ClassLoader to enable expunging.

All 41 java/util/ResourceBundle tests pass with this change applied. Including the ReferenceTest which I had to modify a little to remove a dependency on ResourceBundle.cacheList field which is only used in test to report the size of the Map. It is not possible to obtain the size of the Map any more with this change applied, since the entries are distributed to multiple Map(s) - one Map per ClassLoader instance. The following comment in ReferenceTest could now be removed:

* This test relies on the current behavior of the garbage collector and is
 * therefore no clear indicator of whether the fix for 4405807 works.
* If the test fails, it might indicate a regression, or it might just mean
 * that a less aggressive garbage collector is used.

...as the ClassLoader(s) unloading does not depend on eagerness of SoftReference(s) clearing or any other activity any more.

What do you think?

Regards, Peter


Thinking of how the ResourceBundle caching is implemented, I think it has a serious flaw. The cache is currently the following:

private static final ConcurrentMap<CacheKey, BundleReference> cacheList

...where the CacheKey is an object which contains WeakReference(s) to the caller's ClassLoader and Module. This is OK.

BundleReference, OTOH, is a SoftReference<ResourceBundle>. The problem is ResourceBundle(s) can be arbitrary user subclasses, which means that they may have an implicit reference to the ClassLoader that appears in the CacheKey. The consequence is that such cache can prevent GC-ing of the ClassLoader for arbitrary amount of time (SoftReferences are cleared on memory pressure).

Luckily there might be a solution. If the ResourceBundle subclasses are always resolvable from the ClassLoader that appears in the CacheKey, then there is a utility class that I created recently: java.lang.reflect.ClassLoaderValue. This a package-private class as it is currently used only in java.lang.reflect.Proxy for caching of dynamic Proxy classes, but could be made public and moved to some jdk.internal... package.

Basing ResourceBundle caching on this utility class could also simplify the implementation as you wouldn't have to deal with WeakReference(s) to ClassLoader and Module objects. You could still have a BundleReference extending SoftReference<ResourceBundle> to release the bundles on memory pressure but since such SoftReference(s) would be anchored in the particular ClassLoader instance that can resolve the ResourceBundle subclasses, it would not prevent such ClassLoader from being GCed immediately.

I can prototype such caching if you like.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually CacheKey is used for storing information required to load resource bundles during a ResourceBundle.getBundle call. The current CacheKey usage may be too tricky and cause some maintenance problems. I will file a separate issue on that problem. I wanted to work on some clean up of the CacheKey usage, but I haven't had a chance.

Thanks,
Masayoshi

Hi Masayoshi,

Previously the CacheKey::clone() method cleared a reference to 'providers' in the clone making the provides unreachable from the clone and making the clone unable to obtain providers. Now you also reset the 'providersChecked' flag which makes the clone be able to re-obtain the providers. This is dangerous as the clone is used as a key in the cache and is strongly reachable from the cache. A slight future modification of code could unintentionally produce a class loader leak. To prevent that, I would somehow mark the clone so that any attempt to invoke getProviders() on the clone would throw IllegalStateException.
