Removing node from cache causes problem (using LRUPolicy)

[uwen]

I got the latest sources from CVS JBossCache1_0x and noticed following problem...

Our test is adding and removing nodes in the cache, now i got multiple times the effect that LRUAlgorithm is processing a event - where the node referenced by the event is no longer existing in cache.

A runtime exception is raised from some LRUAlgorithm-methods, other events in the queue are not processed, which causes overflow of queue, and blocking on TreeCache-API operations.

Additionally the runtime exception is not caught in try/catch -block of EvictionTimerTask.run(), which seems to cause the end of the EvictionTimerTask...

It should not be a problem to remove nodes in cache via TreeCache-API?

Best thing to troubleshoot from my end is if you can provide a junit test case. If it turns out to be a bug, we will incorporate it into our test suite as well. :-)

Hi Ben,

your refactoring of LRUAlgorithm and related classes
has definitely solved this issue, good work!

Thanks,
