I got a service in an project using Spring framework.
public class MyServiceImpl implements IMyService {
public MyObject foo(SomeObject obj) {
MyObject myobj = this.mapToMyObject(obj);
myobj.setLastUpdatedDate(new Date());
return myobj;
}
private MyObject mapToMyObject(SomeObject obj){
MyObject myojb = new MyObject();
ConvertUtils.register(new MyNullConvertor(), String.class);
ConvertUtils.register(new StringConvertorForDateType(), Date.class);
BeanUtils.copyProperties(myojb , obj);
ConvertUtils.deregister(Date.class);
return myojb;
}
}
Then I got a class to call foo() in multi-thread;
There goes the problem. In some of the threads, I got error when calling
BeanUtils.copyProperties(myojb , obj);
saying Cannot invoke com.my.MyObject.setStartDate - java.lang.ClassCastException@2da93171
obviously, this is caused by ConvertUtils.deregister(Date.class)
which is supposed to be called after BeanUtils.copyProperties(myojb , obj);
.
It looks like one of the threads deregistered the Date class out while another thread was just about to call BeanUtils.copyProperties(myojb , obj);
.
So My question is how do I make the private method mapToMyObject() thread safe?
Or simply make the BeanUtils thread safe when it's used in a private method.
And will the problem still be there if I keep the code this way but instead I call this foo() method in sevlet? If many sevlets call at the same time, would this be a multi-thread case as well?
