[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3396) Incomplete synchonization in XStreamPersister

Incomplete synchonization in XStreamPersister
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3396
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3396
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
             Fix For: 2.0-RC2

Access to the configuration by multiple threads is possible via the web UI already and it just became more likely with the restconfig plugin.
The XStreamPersister has a proper synchonization inside the persist method, but the same should occurr in any method accessing the file system. Think for example someone renaming a feature type while someone else is writing out a modified ft configuration to the old file name.

Eventually having a transactional file system support would be best (we'll have to introduce transaction support for the Hibernate backend anyways no?)
