Error description

  • Message processing stops when using either Listener Ports or a
    single JMS Connection with multiple JMS Sessions.  The cause
    is a deadlock.  A javacore reveals an ABBA deadlock between
    JMS Messaging Adapter and J2C similar to:

    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server non-default JMS Messaging            *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Deadlock causes hang in message         *
    *                      processing.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    One of the locks involved in the ABBA deadlock was needed
    because an iteration over a synchronized Set was required.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR resolves the problem by using
    java.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap to back a concurrent Set.
    Therefore no explicit synchronization is required.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
