[CDO] Concurrent accesses and ObjectNotFoundException [message #1699056]

Hi there,

I'am facing an issue and I would like some suggestions to manage it correctly Smile

Let suppose you have 2 CDO clients (A & B) running in separate JVM connected to a CDO server (Mem Store) in a 3rd JVM.

The metamodel is the following one :

- Company
contains Employees.
- Employee has:
- a name attribute (EString) ,
- lastUpdateDate containment relationship (MyDate)
-MyDate
- time attribute (ELong)

Client A adds / removes employees in one Company instance "FooBarCompany" and is also be able to set a new MyDate instance on Employee instances let's say to date lastModification on it (dummy reason just for the use case).

Client B runs a repeatable TimerTask each second:
In this task, it does this :

for (Employee current : company.getEmployees) {
current.getLastUpdateDate().getTime()
....
}

But sometimes I got CDO ObjectNotFoundException on the call on getTime().
Indeed, the object is changed in // by client A (the other client JVM) whereas client B is looping and trying to access the lastUpdateDate relationship which is removed on server side hence the object is not valid I guess because the client B transaction is not updated yet against the server ?

I would really appreciate any suggestions to manage this kind of scenario properly.

Should I only catch the exception and try to get the instance again ?

What happens during the loop done by client B, if client A removes an Employee ?
I suppose I will get the same CDO ObjectNotFound exception ?

What is the right solution to manage this please ?

Stéphane.

Hi Stephane,

Your client B may want to use a (read) lock to ensure that the object under access is not deleted by other clients.

Cheers

Hi Eike,

thanks again for your quick answer.

I have already experiences how to lock objects with CDOAutoLocker handler but I don't know how to do quite the same thing at read time without explicitly doing :

CDOLock cdoReadLock = company.cdoReadLock();
cdoReadLock.lock(timeout);

....
...
cdoReadLock.unlock();

everywhere in the application code.

By the way, if client A (JVM 1) uses CDOAutoLocker whereas client B (JVM 2) holds a ReadLock, client A trying to modify the same objects, will be blocked in the CDOAutoLocker until the client B has released its READ Lock ?
What happens if the client B JVM crashes ? the read lock is stil there ?

Stéphane.

Locking is a pretty heavy mechanism in terms of signaling, too. Maybe you're better of by expecting respective
exceptions and handling them more gracefully, e.g. do the read again.

Yes.

No, all locks are owned by the locking view/transaction and are released when that view/transaction is closed (for
whatever reason).

Please note that especially in this area I fixed some bugs for CDO 4.4.

Hi Eike,
Thanks for your explanations.

I've just discovered the serializeCommits settings on server side.
To work with CDOMergingConflictREsolver, is it recommended to set it to true on server side with a mem store bad server ?

Thanks,
Stephane.

I don't think that's related.

What is a bad server?

Hi Eike,
bad is the result of the auto-correction on OS X Smile

if the serializeCommits is enabled, I understand the commit operations are put in a FIFO queue to process them one after one.
If the serializeCommits is disabled, how the commit operations are processed ?

Thanks,
Stéphane.

Yes.

Concurrently with locks on the changed objects (and some more objects, depending on referential integrity needs).
