Description
the following problem has been reported by ###@###.###

I happened to find this exception in one of our nightly testing logs. Is this a known issue? It looks like a lack of synchronization in AppContext.getAppContexts().

EVALUATION actually there is very simple fix. a map Collections.synchronizedMap() returns uses this for synchronization (it is part of contract of this method) So we just need to use the same syncronization in our code public static Set<AppContext> getAppContexts() { synchronized (threadGroup2appContext) { return new HashSet<AppContext>(threadGroup2appContext.values()); } }

EVALUATION Well, we can not just use clone() since threadGroup2appContext is a Map which doesn't have clone() method. Also we can not use IdentityHashMap as type for threadGroup2appContext since we need to have synchronized map, but Collections.synchronizedMap() returns just Map. It looks like to fix the problem we should create some special class which will provide Map interface (well not complete interface, just methods we need) and method clone().

EVALUATION It looks like the problem is in AppContext.getAppContexts() public static Set<AppContext> getAppContexts() { return new HashSet<AppContext>(threadGroup2appContext.values()); } we should clone threadGroup2appContext before getting values. The problem was introduced by the fix for 6536220.
