Bug #5685
closed
Stream closed on categories.xml
0%
Description
I am running Saxon HE as a Groovy task as part of a Gradle build. I am frequently encountering an exception in Saxon HE which seems to involve a Stream closed exception while reading the built-in categories.xml file. Some facts:
- It is an intermittent error; the exact same code sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
- I've made the code serial so I don't think it is a parallel execution issue.
- It seems to occur more often on Windows than on Linux but I've seen it on both.
- It happens usually on around the 3rd or 4th call to doTransform. It doesn't matter if it's on a new Transform() object or a re-used one.
I've included the stack trace below. If you look near the end it's eventually a Stream closed exception which seems to happen while processing categories.xml so I don't think it's related to my code or my files? If you think it does relate to my code then I can try to produce a minimal example that triggers it. I've seen this same exception with Saxon HE 9.9.1-8 and 11.4. Do you have any clues as to how to fix this?

How strange. This is a really common path and you're not obviously doing anything different from what thousands of other users are doing without hitting the problem.
I do suspect a multi-threading issue. We build the categories.xml file as part of static initialization, the first time you compile a regular expression that uses Unicode character categories. The build() method is called only from a static synchronized method (which isn't ideal because it's rather a lot of processing to be doing in a synchronized method, but it should be safe). The inputStream is opened within the build() method, but I note that we never close it. We probably should, but it's hard to see how that on its own would cause the symptoms you're seeing. I wonder if there's any possibility that you're loading multiple instances of the classes in the Saxon JAR file, perhaps because of some complexity in the ClassLoader set-up?

Thank you for the prompt response. I think your guess is exactly correct. I added this line of code to my Groovy Gradle task:
println("SAXON Transform class: " + transform.getClass().hashCode() + " " + Transform.class.hashCode() + " loader: " + transform.getClass().getClassLoader().hashCode() + " JVM PID: " + ProcessHandle.current().pid());
I then get this output:
SAXON Transform class: 861525141 861525141 loader: 1405291009 JVM PID: 41316
SAXON Transform class: 1295286719 1295286719 loader: 110361058 JVM PID: 41316
SAXON Transform class: 128228148 128228148 loader: 1822762519 JVM PID: 41316
SAXON Transform class: 672588550 672588550 loader: 1163876409 JVM PID: 41316
Which suggests that within the same JVM the Transform class is being loaded multiple times with different class loaders, I guess due to the way that Gradle works (to prevent contamination between task runs?). From there I should be able to come up with a work-around.

As a side note, it might be worth to create a simple xslt (running at a pre-build time) that will generate a java class that will have all the data kept in categories.xml initialized statically in an array.

I think the problem is that with multiple classloaders we can't rely on data in static being a singleton: see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39533902/java-singleton-usage-with-multiple-class-loaders
Similarly, we can't rely on static synchronized methods being synchronized across classloader instances.

Personally, I'm happy with the verdict that the bug is the fault of what I was doing in the surrounding code by having multiple class loaders, I think you're right that it's a strange situation that is hard to guard against. If anyone else encounters the problem they'll hopefully find this bug report and know what to do. For posterity, in my Gradle task I had a line (in code forked from https://github.com/eerohele/saxon-gradle):
WorkQueue workQueue = workerExecutor.classLoaderIsolation() {...}
which I changed to:
WorkQueue workQueue = workerExecutor.noIsolation()

Thanks for that. I have a fork of eerohele/saxon-gradle and I’ll apply
that fix to it. It’s odd that I’ve used that plugin (or my version of
it) for years and I’ve never seen this problem…
Be seeing you,
