Hi all,

I recently "Wonderized" a legacy WO application and I have a strange race
condition that happens very rarely and only under extremely high load.
Application extends ERXApplication, Session extends ERXSession and so on, I
removed all "new EOEditingContext()" and replaced them with
ERXEC.newEditingContext()
but
I forgot to remove some ec.lock() and ec.unlock()

I am quite convinced that removing all locks and unlocks will bring me to a
non deadlocking situation but I still want some reassurements
I read a lot of stuff and I'm here to ask to you gurus a final word on the
locking rule I inferred from what I read:

If you always use ERXEC you can safely remove all lock and unlocks except
for stuff that happen in background threads...

Is it true?

What about stuff that happens in session.terminate()? I would say that it
should have explicit lock/unlocks but any opinions are welcome.

Thanks,


Matteo
