Bug 280363

Description Ian Bull 2009-06-15 19:25:31 EDT

There appears to be an infinite loop in RAP when a decoration job is running.  If you have a decoration job running, and you close your connection (shudown the browser), the decoration job runs forever.  (and hangs on to UI Thread object too).

If you look at DecorationScheduler#createDecorationJob:

while (updatesPending()) {
  System.out.println("Update Pending:");
  try {
    Thread.sleep(100);
  } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    // Cancel and try again if there was an error
    // RAP [rh] fake service context
    UICallBack.runNonUIThreadWithFakeContext( display, new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        decorationJob.schedule();
      }
    });
  return Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
 }
}

This just keeps sleeping, and updatePending returns true.

I reproduced this by added a decorator to the RAP Mail demo (to the navigator view).  I then printed 1000 names in the view, and expanded the tree.  While waiting for the tree to expand I closed the browser, and observed that we sit in an infinite loop.
