Hibernate 中的 c3p0 死锁

Question

I am new to hibernate and have started using C3P0 as the connection pooling manager with hibernate because without that I was having timeout issues after 8 hours of no contact with MySQL server.

After switching to C3P0 I recently encountered a deadlock and I am not sure how it happened. I although have all the stack traces and configuration to show.

Here is the configuration log

Here is the thread dump of one of the thread which got locked.

Since I am little new to this I could not identify the problem from log and from the dump. I have also noticed that C3P0 has created a lot of threads.

Answer 1

Your application almost certainly is leaking Connections. See c3p0's docs for how to debug the problem.

TL; DR: Set

<property name="hibernate.c3p0.unreturnedConnectionTimeout">30</property>
<property name="hibernate.c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces">true</property>

Check your logs for stack traces that check out Connections or Sessions in your application but fail to reliably close() them. Fix that, by using something like try-with-resources to reliably close things. When you have fixed the problem, remove the above properties.

Answer 2

I had a deadlock once and these logs:

BasicResourcePool - acquire test -- pool is already maxed out. [managed: 10; max: 10]

Turns out I had one method starting a session+transaction calling another method that also "grabbed its own session" and used it. Nested session + multi thread -> deadlock. FWIW.

Also useful: jstack your application (or equivalent), you may find some threads stuck at one point, some at another...existing blocked threads may be holding onto their (current) session, appropriately...
