Hi there,

I've got a direct action, which sometimes needs to get an object with a known 
PK, for which I use faultWithPrimaryKeyValue. Works well for years, but lately 
the fetches went longer, so I decided to allow it to use a separate OSC not to 
clash with the normal database requests.

The result is weird:
- sometimes, faultWithPrimaryKeyValue in the dedicated OSC is lightning fast, 
as presumed
- sometimes though, it never ends?!? :-O

It does not lock once and then stay locked, the cases are intermittent. Also, 
it never locks when I test myself at my development machine; happens on the 
deployment site only, sigh. I have also reasons to believe that the DA does not 
deadlock with another thread (essentially since at the moment of the first 
lock, nothing at all ran in parallel).

The code looks like this:
===
static sharedosc
WOActionResults someAction() {
  try {
    boolean oscpolicy=ERXProperties.booleanForKey('ActionSpecificOSC')
    def localec, osc
    ... ...
    for (... a couple of times ...) {
      ...
      if (some-condition-which-says-I-need-to-fetch) {
        if (!localec) {
          if (oscpolicy && !sharedosc) sharedosc=new 
ERXObjectStoreCoordinator(true)
          
(localec=ERXEC.newEditingContext(sharedosc?:EOEditingContext.defaultParentObjectStore())).lock()
 // 1
        }
        log "/TEMP will fetch in $localec..." // 2
        eo=EOUtilities.faultWithPrimaryKeyValue(localec ,'DBAuction', 
Integer.valueOf(map.eoprimarykey))
        log "/TEMP ... did fetch in $localec"
      }
      ...
    }
    ... ...
    if (localec) localec.dispose()
  } catch (exc) {
    some-log-which-never-happens-thus-I-know-the-above-never-threw
  }
}
===

When ActionSpecificOSC is off, it never ever locks. When it is on though, 
occasionally the “will fetch” log marked // 2 is the very last thing which the 
appropriate worker thread ever does. In other (intermittent) cases it all works 
well.

Aside of moving the localec.dispose to finally, which would be safer, but in 
this case irrelevant for no exception ever happens, can you perhaps see a 
possible culprit?

Side question: originally, my // 1 line looked like 
(localec=ERXEC.newEditingContext(osc)).lock(). Far as I can say, should work 
precisely same way as the above, but did not: when the osc was null, I've got 
an invalid EC with a null rootObjectStore. What the H.?!?

Thanks and all the best,
OC
