    *                      are both logging at the same time.      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    In the WsLogManager.getLogger() method, if the logger is null,
    a thread goes into a synchronized block to create a new
    instance of WsLogger object, thus locking the WsLogManager
    object. Meanwhile, another logging thread, will try to contend
    for the WsLogManager, causing a never-ending wait condition,
    leading to a deadlock.
    Below is the snippet of the stack trace, when the deadlock
    occurs on the WsLogManager object:
    Deadlock detected in  [WorkManager.bpm-em-workmanager : 31]
    [WorkManager.bpm-em-workmanager : 25]  where
    WorkManager.bpm-em-workmanager : 25

Problem conclusion

  • To prevent the deadlock situation from happening, the code was
    re-structured, so the threads do not hold a lock on the
    WsLogManager object, when creating a new WsLogger object.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.43, 8.0.0.14, 8.5.5.12, 9.0.0.3.  Please refer
