13.5. Troubleshooting
13.5.1. Marshalling Troubleshooting
In Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, the marshalling layer and JBoss Marshalling in particular, can produce errors when marshalling or unmarshalling a user object. The exception stack trace contains further information to help you debug the problem.
The following is an example of such a stack trace:
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.Object at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverMarshaller.doWriteObject(RiverMarshaller.java:857) at org.jboss.marshalling.AbstractMarshaller.writeObject(AbstractMarshaller.java:407) at org.infinispan.marshall.exts.ReplicableCommandExternalizer.writeObject(ReplicableCommandExternalizer.java:54) at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.ConstantObjectTable$ExternalizerAdapter.writeObject(ConstantObjectTable.java:267) at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverMarshaller.doWriteObject(RiverMarshaller.java:143) at org.jboss.marshalling.AbstractMarshaller.writeObject(AbstractMarshaller.java:407) at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.JBossMarshaller.objectToObjectStream(JBossMarshaller.java:167) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.objectToBuffer(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:92) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.objectToByteBuffer(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:170) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest.testNestedNonSerializable(VersionAwareMarshallerTest.java:415) Caused by: an exception which occurred: in object java.lang.Object@b40ec4 in object org.infinispan.commands.write.PutKeyValueCommand@df661da7 ... Removed 22 stack frames
In object messages and stack traces are read in the same way: the highest in object is the innermost one and the outermost in object is the lowest.
The provided example indicates that a
java.lang.Object instance within an org.infinispan.commands.write.PutKeyValueCommand instance cannot be serialized because java.lang.Object@b40ec4 is not serializable.
However, if the
DEBUG or TRACE logging levels are enabled, marshalling exceptions will contain toString() representations of objects in the stack trace. The following is an example that depicts such a scenario:
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.Object
...
Caused by: an exception which occurred:
in object java.lang.Object@b40ec4
-> toString = java.lang.Object@b40ec4
in object org.infinispan.commands.write.PutKeyValueCommand@df661da7
-> toString = PutKeyValueCommand{key=k, value=java.lang.Object@b40ec4, putIfAbsent=false, lifespanMillis=0, maxIdleTimeMillis=0}
Displaying this level of information for unmarshalling exceptions is expensive in terms of resources. However, where possible, JBoss Data Grid displays class type information. The following example depicts such levels of information on display:
java.io.IOException: Injected failue! at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest$1.readExternal(VersionAwareMarshallerTest.java:426) at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadNewObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:1172) at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:273) at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:210) at org.jboss.marshalling.AbstractUnmarshaller.readObject(AbstractUnmarshaller.java:85) at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.JBossMarshaller.objectFromObjectStream(JBossMarshaller.java:210) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.objectFromByteBuffer(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:104) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.objectFromByteBuffer(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:177) at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest.testErrorUnmarshalling(VersionAwareMarshallerTest.java:431) Caused by: an exception which occurred: in object of type org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest$1
In the provided example, an
IOException was thrown when an instance of the inner class org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest$1 is unmarshalled.
In a manner similar to marshalling exceptions, when
DEBUG or TRACE logging levels are enabled, the class type's classloader information is provided. An example of this classloader information is as follows:
java.io.IOException: Injected failue! ... Caused by: an exception which occurred: in object of type org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshallerTest$1 -> classloader hierarchy: -> type classloader = sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@198dfaf ->...file:/opt/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/285/1/.cp/eclipse-testng.jar ->...file:/opt/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/285/1/.cp/lib/testng-jdk15.jar ->...file:/home/galder/jboss/infinispan/code/trunk/core/target/test-classes/ ->...file:/home/galder/jboss/infinispan/code/trunk/core/target/classes/ ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/testng/testng/5.9/testng-5.9-jdk15.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/net/jcip/jcip-annotations/1.0/jcip-annotations-1.0.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/easymock/easymockclassextension/2.4/easymockclassextension-2.4.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/easymock/easymock/2.4/easymock-2.4.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/cglib/cglib-nodep/2.1_3/cglib-nodep-2.1_3.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.1/jaxb-api-2.1.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/javax/xml/stream/stax-api/1.0-2/stax-api-1.0-2.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/javax/activation/activation/1.1/activation-1.1.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/jgroups/jgroups/2.8.0.CR1/jgroups-2.8.0.CR1.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/jboss/javaee/jboss-transaction-api/1.0.1.GA/jboss-transaction-api-1.0.1.GA.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/jboss/marshalling/river/1.2.0.CR4-SNAPSHOT/river-1.2.0.CR4-SNAPSHOT.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/jboss/marshalling/marshalling-api/1.2.0.CR4-SNAPSHOT/marshalling-api-1.2.0.CR4-SNAPSHOT.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/jboss/jboss-common-core/2.2.14.GA/jboss-common-core-2.2.14.GA.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/org/jboss/logging/jboss-logging-spi/2.0.5.GA/jboss-logging-spi-2.0.5.GA.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.14/log4j-1.2.14.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.2/xstream-1.2.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/xpp3/xpp3_min/1.1.3.4.O/xpp3_min-1.1.3.4.O.jar ->...file:/home/galder/.m2/repository/com/sun/xml/bind/jaxb-impl/2.1.3/jaxb-impl-2.1.3.jar -> parent classloader = sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader@1858610 ->...file:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_19/jre/lib/ext/localedata.jar ->...file:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_19/jre/lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar ->...file:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_19/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar ->...file:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_19/jre/lib/ext/dnsns.jar ...
