Problem Description:

Having setLocale() in a cfthread can throw a NullPointerException errors at (seemingly) random intervals or simply not work.

I have tested with CF9, CF10, CF11 and CF2016.


Steps to Reproduce:

Run attached code a couple times and tail the sscce.log

I've seen it work as expected, throw NPEs, or not working at all. I can't really tell when it does what.


Actual Result:

Random errors or not working as documented.


Expected Result:

setLocale should work inside a cfthread.


Any Workarounds:

Don't use setLocale() inside a cfthread

Confirmed exceptions are thrown. With JMeter, I always saw the following error, on CF10/11/2016 on 2 machines: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.setLocale(Response.java:913) at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade.setLocale(ResponseFacade.java:357) at javax.servlet.ServletResponseWrapper.setLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:196) at coldfusion.jsp.ServletResponseWrapper.setLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:74) at coldfusion.jsp.ServletResponseWrapper.setLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:74) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.SetLocale(CFPage.java:5435) at -Except- for -CF11-, on -one- machine, always threw the following error instead: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The response object has been recycled and is no longer associated with this facade at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade.getLocale(ResponseFacade.java:365) at javax.servlet.ServletResponseWrapper.getLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:205) at coldfusion.jsp.ServletResponseWrapper.getLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:38) at coldfusion.jsp.ServletResponseWrapper.getLocale(ServletResponseWrapper.java:38) at coldfusion.runtime.locale.CFLocaleMgr.getLocaleObj(CFLocaleMgr.java:199) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.GetLocaleObj(CFPage.java:5406) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.GetLocale(CFPage.java:5330) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.SetLocale(CFPage.java:5419) When I would just repeatedly F5 the page, instead of using JMeter, I'd get various other errors like these: java.util.ConcurrentModificationException at java.util.ArrayList$Itr.checkForComodification(ArrayList.java:819) at java.util.ArrayList$Itr.next(ArrayList.java:791) at coldfusion.tagext.io.cache.ehcache.GenericResponseWrapper.setHeader(GenericResponseWrapper.java:196) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.SetLocale(CFPage.java:5093) java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.tomcat.util.http.MimeHeaders.setValue(MimeHeaders.java:304) at org.apache.coyote.Response.setHeader(Response.java:316) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.setHeader(Response.java:1452) at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade.setHeader(ResponseFacade.java:534) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:164) at coldfusion.tagext.io.cache.ehcache.GenericResponseWrapper.setHeader(GenericResponseWrapper.java:209) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.SetLocale(CFPage.java:5093) java.lang.NullPointerException at coldfusion.tagext.io.cache.ehcache.GenericResponseWrapper.setHeader(GenericResponseWrapper.java:198) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.jsp.HttpServletResponseWrapper.setHeader(HttpServletResponseWrapper.java:73) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.SetLocale(CFPage.java:5436) Thanks!, -Aaron

Verified it on CF2016 with update 3, ran the attached test case using JMeter. I could see there are few NPEs at random intervals. Attaching the log file

Is this one going to get a fix in CF2016?

This is marked as fixed - please confirm which updater / hotfix this was fixed in and for which CF versions. Thank you :)

I just confirmed I'm no longer getting these errors in CF2016 update 12, but this bug is not mentioned in the release notes for that version. I was still getting the errors in update 11.
