Bug ID: 54534 Summary: JMX connection may load servlet with invalid ClassLoader Product: Tomcat 7 Version: 7.0.35 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: robby.mor...@bazaarvoice.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 29929 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29929&action=edit Project for reproduction of bug I've recently observed a bug in Tomcat 7 that is causing our servers to fail to start-up, with the root cause being that, in response to a JMX request, Tomcat 7 is loading our servlet on a Thread whose contextClassLoader is NOT that of the web application. This may lead to various problems; in our case, it leads to failure of Spring to find the requisite XSDs that are present in jars in our web app's WEB-INF/lib directory. Here is the stack trace that is reported for Tomcat7.0.35 + Spring 3.1.1: org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/context] Offending resource: ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml] at

java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) I've attached a simple Maven-based WAR project that can reproduce this -- see the README for exact steps. In this case, the exception will occur, but after the artificially imposed 30 second delay completes, the servlet appears to load fine. In our actual systems, the servlet appears to remain in an incompletely loaded state. My hypothesis is that this is timing-related... if StandardWrapper.allocate does not complete before the main thread that is loading the web application correctly, then I think the main thread adds a reference to the mis-loaded servlet, and the subsequent deallocate call in StandardWrapper.isSingleThreadModel does not unload the servlet, causing it to remain in its impaired state. Please investigate this bug, since it is likely to affect users combining Tomcat + Spring WebMVC + JMX monitoring, which I believe to be a common use case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
