Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1377:
----------------------------------------------

Ok, it seems that the problem comes from the way we manage AVLTree and store them in the JDBM backend : serialization and deserialization are done *before* the data are stored or retreived from JDBM. JDBM stores and return a reference to an Object, and in this case, it will be a byte[]. Obvioulsy, this reference can be modified while we are deserializing it if another thread is modifying it.

We just have to declare the de/serializer to be JDBM de/serializer, the way we did for ServerEntry, and attach those de/serializer to the JDBMTable.

> When adding/deleting entries with many clients (a client add and delete an entry many times), we may have some concurrency problem, as the index are updated without concurrent acces protection.
> Synchronizing the classes where we update the index might help.
