UIThread sometimes remains alive after session is invalidated [message #1809163]

Hello,

We discover our RAP application is suffering of a Memory leak for a while now.
The cause of the Memory Leak is UIThread remaining alive even after Http Session is invalidated.

Initially I wrongly though I was hitting something like this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409843
but I think I understand the issue better now.

UIThread is supposed to be stopped with org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl.valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent) which itself is called during
org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet.internal.servlet.HttpSessionAdaptor.invalidate

I noticed when RAP application is loaded 2 attributes are registered in Container HttpSession:

* org.eclipse.equinox.http.parent.session.listener which is a org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet.internal.servlet.HttpSessionAdaptor.ParentSessionListener
* equinox.http.org_eclipse_rap_rwt_osgi_internal_HttpContextWrapper-21org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl#uisession:a5f93e09 which is the RAP UISessionImpl instance

When HttpSession is explicitely invalidated the container is calling removeAttribute on each attributes so valueUnbound is called on .ParentSessionListener which is supposed to shutdown UISession (by retrreiving it from session attribute

The issue as attributes is a map, sometimes, the container is removing equinox.http.org_eclipse_rap_rwt_osgi_internal_HttpContextWrapper-21org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl#uisession:a5f93e09 before org.eclipse.equinox.http.parent.session.listener so when ParentSessionListener .valueUnbound is executing the UISession instance is not there anymore, so never shutdown.

Worse than that as the UISession is holding a reference to the HttpSession, the container never consider it as idle and the Session never timeout do the memory leak.

My guess is this behavior is occuring only with servlet bridge.

I have just added a jar in WEB-INF/lib of a legacy war (RAP application in servlet bridge) with

@WebListener
public class TestAttributeListener implements HttpSessionAttributeListener {

@Override
public void attributeAdded(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) {
}

@Override
public void attributeRemoved(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) {
System.out.println("Removed " + event.getName());
}

@Override
public void attributeReplaced(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) {
}

}

The RAP application is a workbench with an exit menu that is redirecting to a servlet that invalidate the http session

if "Removed org.eclipse.equinox.http.parent.session.listener" is dislpayed before Removed "equinox.http.org_eclipse_rap_rwt_osgi_internal_HttpContextWrapper-21org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl#uisession:a5f93e09"
then everything is fine, but if Removed equinox.http.org_eclipse_rap_rwt_osgi_internal_HttpContextWrapper-21org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl#uisession:a5f93e09 is displayed first, then there is the leak

Hi Arnaud,

is it reproducible with any workbench-based application? Any specific prerequisites to reproduce it with our Workbench Demo? Could you open a bugzilla to track the progress there?

Best regards,
Ivan

Hi Arnaud,

I think removing of "equinox.http.org_eclipse_rap_rwt_osgi_internal_HttpContextWrapper-21org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.service.UISessionImpl#uisession" will terminate the UI (see [1]). There is a HttpSessionBindingListener attached to UISessionImpl [2]. I don't understand how "org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet.internal.servlet.HttpSessionAdaptor.ParentSessionListener" interferes with UISession shutdown.
BTW, which RAP version are you using? There are a lot of changes in the "org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet" bundle recently. Is the issue reproducible with RAP 3.5 or 3.6?

Ivan

Hello, I think my analysis of the issue is wrong. I do not understand why the UIThread remains alive. Maybe a race condition, as UI Thread does not consistently remains alive (sometime it correctly shutdown, sometime not) and putting breakpoints change behavior so the issue is not occuring.

The breakpoint give me the idea to move setMaxInactiveInterval(1); in a separated servlet change the menu action to navigate to this servlet instead of calling setMaxInactiveInterval directly, then I get no more stuck UIThread since then

I tested with old version of our app based on RAP neon, and still have it with RAP 2019-06

Hi Arnaud,

thanks for letting us know. If you have more insides or how to reproduce it, I'll be happy to assist and help to debug and fix it.

Regards,
Ivan
