Hi there, We are using castor 1.1 in a multi-threaded environment.
Please find below a brief description about our usage of castor and our system - Our application consumes xml message from messaging queue then uses castor to process the message and send back a response. This is a plain simple POJO application that listens to the messaging queues and we've about 10 threads listening to the queue. Whenever a message arrives one of the thread picks up the xml message and starts processing. We use a mapping.xml. Observation of the issue - Recently after upgrading to castor 1.1 we are seeing that when two threads pick up and process different xml messages at the same time we see that the response of one thread has unwanted data attached to the response xml. The corrupt xml response message has two parts first part was the correct repsonse xml and the second part actually has the Java object converted to a xml message for e.g. it was not using the mapping file to generate the xml rather the java object's attribute names were directly used as tag names. There are no errors / exceptions thrown or logged in the log files. We havent seen this kind of issue before when we were using Cator 0.9.5.3 Please let me know if someone has experienced the same issue or a some inputs towards what could possibly be causing the issue. Thanks and Regards, Gopinath R.
