Grizzly Suspend

Hi all,

I'm using Grizzly 1.9.35 and I have a problem with the suspend/resume feature.
Basically, I delegate to some threads the Grizzly request.
So, in my adapter, in the method service( request, response ) I do :
- response.suspend( ... )
- give the request to my own worker, and when it's finish, call response.resume()

Sometimes, under heavy load, I have a problem, when I ask to suspend the request I have this error :

2011-06-15 16:06:39,340 GMT+0200 - [Grizzly-8090(4)] ERROR (AdapterMapper.service:122) - Error while trying to suspend a request

I should do something wrong somewhere.

Can someone suggest me what could be the cause of this error ?
Maybe this error suggest that a miss to resume somewhere ?
Could it be a Grizzly problem ?

This is a simplify code of my adapter :

@Override
public void service( Request req, Response res ) throws Exception {

         try {
                   res.suspend( Long.MAX_VALUE, someDataForTheCompletion, new MyCompletionHandler(req,res) );
         }
         catch ( Exception ex ) {
                   log.log( SEVERE, "Error while trying to suspend a request", ex );
         }

         try {
AsynchronousRequest asyncReq = new AsynchronousRequest( req, res );
                   getMyExecutor().register( asyncReq );
         }
         catch( RejectedExecutionException ex ) {
                   res.setStatus( 509 );
                   res.setMessage( "Too many requests" );
                   res.resume();
                   log.log( INFO, "Asynchronous request cannot be treated by the server: too many requests" );
         }
}

As you see, if my executor is too busy, it set an http error and resume the response. It means that sometimes, the resume is in the Grizzly thread, sometimes not.


Thanks for any help
