Hi,
how does this interact with the transparent thread handling in an
EJB-Container.
In such a situation, when the container handles the threads that use my
classes, do I have to fear dead lock situations?
I think the only case where there could be a problem is when we call any
bean method inside the logging-call, which could be the case if the message
itself performs such a call to be evaluated.
E.g:
logger.info("Withdrawing " + amount + " $ from account " +
anotherBean.getAccountName(id));
The EJB-Spec prohibits 'the use of thread synchronization primitives', but
explains that this is due to the fact that the container may distribute my
beans over more than one address spaces. In that case we wouldn't have a
problem since we would als have more than one category hierarchies.
Any comment on that?
