Hi all,

I get an issue with a multi threaded application. To be easier to understand, 
my description is simpler than the reality but that's enough to see what's 
going on I guess.

I'm using:
WO 5.4.3
Snow Leopard/ java 6
Wonder (not the very last but not old)
I put the following properties:
er.extensions.ERXEC.traceOpenLocks=true
er.extensions.ERXEC.markOpenLocks=true

There 2 threads (not worker threads handled by WO) created by a 
frameworkPrincipal (in the wonder sense) with a classical run loop (while 
(true)....).

BigObject A running in thread A has an editingContext A (ecA) that fetches, for 
example, customers from entity Customer

BigObject B running in thread B has an editingContext B (ecB) that fetches 
objects, for example invoices from entity Invoice. Invoice has a to one 
relationship with Customer

BigObject A passes to BigObject B a list of customers. Suppose there is only 
one customer in the list.

Object B periodically fetches invoices, customer by customer, so it constructs 
a qualifier like invoice.customer.eq(aCustomer), then a fetchspec, ... Of 
course, there is some code like:

ecB.lock();
try
        invoices = ecB.objectsWithFetchSpecification(fetchSpecification);
catch
finally
ecB.unlock();

The log tells me that when ecB.objectsWithFetchSpecification is executed, ecA 
is locked. And it's locked forever. I wasn't sure to have to use a 
localInstance of customer because I use it only to create a qualifier. But I 
did the test and it's worth.

If I execute something like that before the construction of the qualifier:
 myCustomers = EOUtilities.localInstanceOfObject(ecB, customers);

ecA and ecB are locked automatically and never unlocked.

I found a solution, that's to lock/unlock both editingContexts but I'm 
unsatisfied because I don't understand why EOUtilities.localInstance locks ecA 
and ecB and doesn't unlock them. Naturally I would find the good way to use it.

Any idea what's going on? 

The stack trace when ecA is locked by BigObjectB:
