(I posted this on the bugs and jdbc newsgroups last week but have seen no response. Imho, this really needs to be fixed since the bug makes it impossible to use the driver in a multithreaded environment so I'm reposting to hackers and patches.)
_ Mats Lofkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] The optimization added in src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/core/Encoding.java version 1.7 breaks JDBC since it is not thread safe. The new method decodeUTF8() uses a static (i.e. class member) but is synchronized on the instance so it won't work with multiple instances used in parallel by multiple threads. (Quick and dirty patch below.) (The method also isn't using the 'length' parameter correctly, but since offset always seems to be zero, this bug doesn't show up.) _ Mats Lofkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** org/postgresql/core/Encoding.java~ Sun Oct 20 04:55:50 2002 --- org/postgresql/core/Encoding.java Fri Nov 8 16:13:20 2002 *************** *** 233,239 **** */ private static final int pow2_6 = 64; // 26 private static final int pow2_12 = 4096; // 212 ! private static char[] cdata = new char[50]; private synchronized String decodeUTF8(byte data[], int offset, int length) { char[] l_cdata = cdata; --- 233,239 ---- */ private static final int pow2_6 = 64; // 26 private static final int pow2_12 = 4096; // 212 ! private char[] cdata = new char[50]; private synchronized String decodeUTF8(byte data[], int offset, int length) { char[] l_cdata = cdata; ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
