RE: Barracuda lockups...

Hi Christian,

Well... it's go-live time on Monday... :)
Still lots of 'bugs' I need to get sorted out before then.
At the moment.. I'm busy sorting out the security frontend to the
application.
It needs some tweaking.
To top it all.. the closer I get to Monday.. the more bugs I find!! ;)
It's Murphys Law.. and it's found it's way to South Africa, Cape Town!
Oh well...
I'll def make time for this.. today/tommorrow/the weekend.
Thanx for the quick response and advice....
Will keep you posted.

Thanx a mil Christian
Regards
KD

Ps.
If I can sort out the security problems tonight.. I might just get around to
later on today.

Yeah, it was in DefaultDOMLoader. Now, I don't think there were major
problems there, but we did make some improvements, so its certainly
possible.

I'm willing to do whatever necessary to help you get this fixed, but tht's
probably going to require you to upgrade to the latest version in cvs, first
to verify whether or not its still a problem, and then second to fix it if
it is. Can you do this?

One of the things that may be helpful in duplicating this is to use the
Barracuda Workbench (you can run this from
WEB-INF/bin/Barracuda_WorkBench.bat)...it has a simple URL stress tester
that will allow you to hit a webapp with multiple threads, usually exposing
any threadsaftey issues. The downside is that the stress tester does not
currently support authentication, cookies, or redirect requests, so it may
be a tad limited where you can use it.

I CAN confirm that I used this to test my changes to DefaultDOMLoader, and
it held up under load without problems. So one of the things you might want
to do before upgrading even is to try it out on your existing app to see if
you can duplicate the problem. If you CAN'T, then maybe its a different
issue altogether.

Hopefully this will give you some ideas on where to start...holler if you
have questions, and let us know what you find.

Christian
