Error description

  • When you make REST API calls, you might see
    ConcurrentModificationExceptions like the following exception:
    
    CWTBG0019E: Unexpected exception during execution. Exception
    information:
    java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
     at java.util.HashMap$AbstractMapIterator.

     at com.ibm.bpm.rest.impl.service.ServiceResource.
      getServiceActions(ServiceResource.java:105)
    
    
       The ConcurrentModificationException is thrown by newer Java
    versions. In older Java versions, Java does
    not detect it, so subsequent errors occur; including
    NegativeArraySizeException.
    
    CWTBG0019E: Unexpected exception during
    execution.

Local fix

Problem summary

  • In high-load scenarios, a non-synchronized hash map is read and
    traced while it is updated. As a result, you receive the
    ConcurrentModification exception.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A fix is available for IBM BPM V7.5.1.2 that synchronizes the
    access to this hash map so that you do not receive the
    exception.
