If it's helpful, my company had some difficulty completing a persistence implementation for sandesha2-1.2. What we observed was the inmemory solution appears to enforce pessimistic row locking and the serializable transaction isolation level. Once beans are enlisted in a transaction, all other threads attempting to access the bean block until the bean is released from its transaction. It's not possible to implement a persistence solution without combing through the inmemory implementations.

Basically, this has a hierarchy of classes (beans) hard coded. If you use a store to access a bean then the store impl's tran calls into the independent lock manager. I feel this is a kind hack for the problem. And also as Andrew has mentioned this won't work in a distributed environment. For me the correct solution is to go through all the transactions and make an order of which transactions access the beans. But apparently this is also seems to be difficult since a lot of transactions has start and commits. So have to think bit more. thanks, Amila. Any attempt to enlist outside of the locking hierarchy results in a hard runtime error and a rollback of the tran.

I went through similar pain when implementing a StorageManager and encountered a number of deadlocks similar to the ones that you describe. What I have gradually done is eliminate these in both the InMemory store and my store by changing the ordering the beans were taken in. In general the beans are taken in this order. RMSBean or RMDBean followed by SenderBean or InvokerBean. In cases where both the RMSBean and RMDBean are locked, they tend to be taken in that order - RMS followed by RMD. The one thing that I do know is that it is fairly easy to introduce new deadlocks by slightly altering the order that beans are read. The one question I have is how does the jdbc store handle multiple threads accessing multiple sequences, or even a single sequence, but with multiple threads sending multiple requests. From my experience this is where we have found a lot of problems in the InMemory store and I expect to be even more painful with a jdbc store.

First of all as I learned Sandesha2 uses different beans to keep the state of the sequence and the messages. In a dual channel mode different threads can access these beans and update them concurrently. So the synchronization of these beans done by using the storage level transactions. Therefore Sandesha2 needs an storage which supports isolated transactions. To synchronize these beans the transactions must be completely isolated. i.e It should not allow simultaneous reads of same record from different transactions. Therefore I think the problem I saw on[1] because not isolating the transactions properly. Then I increased the transaction isolation to fix the above problem. It fixed that problem but results in dead locks. The reason I believe for this dead locks is that different transactions try to access the data base tables in different order. But unfortunately I could not fix the issue. Normally these types of dead locks are prevented by accessing resources in same order. Does Sandesha2 follows such a order or any other technique? Or is there any other reason for this dead locks and synchronization problems? Can someone have a better idea of Sandesha2 Design shed some light on this? thanks, Amila.
