Hi everyone. I ran into bug #6299 today (two server-side includes fail with buffering on), did some debugging, and found the cause of it.
I have no doubt that a bunch of other bugs in bugzilla are caused by the same issue. Basically, the class and its helper classes have a pretty serious design flaw: they declare lots of information static ( like the servlet output stream ) that should not be shared between threads and/or instances of the servlet. Specifically, SsiInvokerServlet.java declares SsiMediator as static. SsiMediator in turn declares LOTS of things static, like the request, response, output stream, etc. This is probably causing garbled output, socket closed errors, etc. when multiple users are viewing .shtml files at the same time and/or when users are viewing output with buffered=true. Implementing the SingleThreadedServlet interface will not help this problem. Are the two authors still mantaining this code? Bip Thelin?
