Java Swing 1.6 update 23 JVM Locks using Applet

I currently have an applet and only recently discovered a problem with it, sometimes the whole JVM locks up and becomes unresponsive including the Java console.

Any code in the Applet that I have that updates the UI is run on the event dispatch thread. When the JVM Locked I used JVisualVM to provide a Thread Dump of the JVM. I enclose the output it below. From what I can see is that there are 3 Event Queues, but more worrying is that I think there are 2 EventDispatch threads running and mutually blocking each other in a Deadly Embrace.

The scenario in the applet is as follows, the user wishes to browse on a textfield so we launch the browse window hosted within a JInternalFrame window, the user selects the value they want and then that value is inserted into the TextField and the browse window is dismissed.

From what I can see is that thread AWT-EventQueue-2 is updating the field on the EDT and has acquired the writeLock in javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.replace() and tries to invalidate the textfield but waits until thread AWT-EventQueue-0 releases the Treelock, however AWT-EventQueue-0 is waiting on a readlock() on the same field but wont progress until the thread AWT-E开发者_如何转开发ventQueue-2 releases the writelock, hence the mutual locking. What I dont understand is it appears as if there are at least 2 EDT.

I know Im probaly being stupid here but can anyone shed any light on this issue. Thanks in advance.

My Question here is, do you think this is a JVM bug

The Threads of interest here are AWT-EventQueue-1, AWT-EventQueue-2 and AWT-EventQueue-0.

The Java concurrency trail explains that acess to Swing components and their models need to happen on the EDT. However, it fails to address what happens when you have multiple EDTs.

A better phrasing of "always access swing components from the EDT" is probably: "always access swing components from exactly one EDT".

The chrriis.dj.nativeswing.swtimpl classes the applet is using in its JInternalFrame are creating another EDT.

The deadlock is happening when the EDT#2 (the inner frame) is updating the text field and, at the same time, EDT#0 (the applet) is attempting to repaint the same text field.

The solution is to not pass any Swing component or their models between EDTs. Instead use a BlockingQueue with the inner frame as the producer and a SwingWorker (started by the applet) as the consumer. Once the SwingWorker reads the update from the BlockingQueue, it can pass the data back to its EDT via its done method. If you need to post intermediate results, use the publish and process methods
