RE: TCPSession.sendFrame: NullPointerException

I've run into this a couple of times. TCPSession has some race
conditions re the socket manipulation. What I do to avoid these problems
(all but one) is to guarantee that the channel and session cannot be
closed while sending messages (through external locks). Of course, if
the session is closed from the other side there is nothing we can do. In
this case, the NullPointerException kills the TCPSEssion thread (created
inside enableIO()).

Fixing these problems is not trivial (chance of distributed deadlock),
so I decided it was easier to live with them ;-)

Subject: [Beepcore-java-users] TCPSession.sendFrame:
NullPointerException

Hi

We use the beepcore java library in our diploma project 'a =20
collaborative editor'.
When two users collaboratively edit a document, each character is sent =20
over a channel by a call to
myChannelImplInstance.sendMSG(outputData, myReplylistener).
Both sides use the same channel. After a while (both users type very =20
fast, i.e.
channel.sendMSG(..) is called at a high rate), the following exception =20
occurs:

Does anyone know this problem? Is it a bug or do I use the channel the =20
wrong way?

Any help highly appreciated.

Lukas
