Re: Thread BLOCKED using BS in Multi threads

In my case each thread runs its own Interpreter object.   The contents of
all BS scripts are known at time of thread startup.
I cache the interpreter object for the lifetime of the thread.   At thread
startup I execute all dynamic and static script, as well as import statement
for system commands.   All scripts are simply function declarations, do not
execute code that needs to be re-evaluated ever.
Then when the threads access BS I only allow them to call functions (via the
java API).   Since the function declarations have been pre-run there is no
compilation going on (unless the call hits a branch that invokes a system
defined command which is implemented as a .bsh script in a resource, in that
case it might interpret it, but I have few of those).

I'm making heavy use of the interface API's to Interpreter so that calls
into it do not involve dynamic compilation.

I have not had to change any BS code to accomplish this.

David, thanks for your response.

What kind of caching are you using ?

I am currently considering to override NameSpace to cache the classes in
a static map.
Maybe it will help avoid the blocking in my case.

I haven't seen this myself, we use BS in up to 200 threads and they are
not
getting blocked to my knowledge.
However we are not using source, rather all BSH scripts are either
resources
or provided as strings to the Interpreter instance.
Also we do a lot of caching to avoid having to 'compile' the scripts
frequently.

Subject: [Beanshell-users] Thread BLOCKED using BS in Multi threads

Hi all,

 

I am having an issue when running multiple BS at the same type in
different threads in the same JVM.

 

Almost all the treads are getting into BLOCKED state due to some
synchronized code in Class.forName.

As a result the time of operation is much longer.

 

I have noticed that it happens mainly when the scripts are using
"source" to load other scripts.

 

Each threads have his own engine.

 

Any suggestion ?

 

Thanks

 

Fred
