Getting hung threads in Eclipselink 2.6.4 [message #1771626]

We migrated our code from using Toplink 9.0. to Eclipselink 2.6.4 thats running on Websphere App Server 8.5.5 and Java 7. We are using a Eclipselink project configuration xml which has all the mappings and we have the
corresponding Java objects for the mappings as well. We are not using EclipseLink JPA because migrating to JPA was a lot of rework with a ton of objects that we had. We changed the toplink-config.xml to eclipselink-config.xml maintaining the same mapping and making necessary modifications for the new eclipselink XSD.

After migrating the code, the application was tested in lower environments and all seemed okay, but in Production we keep getting transaction timeouts followed by several hung threads. One major issue here is we cannot reproduce it at will on another environment.
This eventually takes up all CPU and restarting the JVM is what we end up doing to restore normal operation. We did not have this issue with Toplink 9.0

I notice this happening while accessing a one-to-many relationship object.

AccessoryListType has a one-many relationship with AccessoryListTypeAccessoryLinks. If you look at AccessoryListType.java below, the second line in the getAccessories() method is where we get the AccessoryListTypeAccessoryLinks objects and results in the timeout/exception.

I am assuming we are doing a Lazy Fetch since ValueHolderInterface indirection is used. I am also attaching the eclipse-config.xml snippet which has the mapping for the objects.

Indirection forces a query when it gets triggered, so this is the same issue as described here https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1771687/#msg_1771687 but from a different point.

Since the lock is occurring entirely when trying to clone objects within the associated UnitOfWork object, the only cause I can think of is two or more threads using the same UnitOfWork instance concurrently. Check that your application isn't reading objects through a UnitOfWork and then caching them or accessing them in other threads. A thread dump might show other threads getting stuck, and allow you to trace how/where they got the objects they are stuck on.

I'd also recommend contacting Oracle support if you have a support contract, as they might be able to help take a look at your usage both at the current app and the prior TopLink application to make suggestions.

Thank you for your response!

My understanding is is that we are not using the same UnitOfWork instance, but I am not a 100% sure as I have not been able to confirm that yet.

We do not have any Oracle support contract anymore.

From the coredumps, this is what I got for the blocking thread (holding the monitor) and for one of the blocked thread. See below -
Can you please advice or suggest some options? The objects, the classdescriptors and the location in the code where we get the error is pointed out above in the previous message.
Also, is there something else that I should look for in the coredump?

WebContainer 16 is proceeding to build an object, so it isn't necessarily locked or deadlocked, but this shows you have multiple threads sharing the same object read from a single UnitOfWork. The UnitOfWork and objects read from it (managed objects) are not thread safe - other threads should read in their own copies of the instances when required.

This would always have been an issue, so I don't know what might have changed - possibly you were using some query options that got lost in the transition to EclipseLink, such as reading a read-only instance instead. You will have to evaluate what the AccessoryListTypeAccLink.getAccessory method is doing and how the AccessoryListTypeAccLink was read in to see if there is a simple fix, such as reading from the clientSession or using the read-only hint in JPA, or if something else is needed depending on how you intend to use the object.

Best Regards,
Chris

I'd also suggest looking at the AccessoryController.buildAccessoryListTableFromPGList method, as assuming the AccessoryList is an object pulled from the database, the buildAccessoryListTableFromPGList involvement in both threads seems suspect.
