Ok, I'll try a few things to see if I can learn more on it, and update.

Hi,


I fear it won't be feasible to create a working sample for you, as the problem happens once every 10,000 transactions and I'm quite sure it will not happen on a sample level complexity.
Before troubling you with a patch, could you explain briefly on what scenarios would such an action happen?
It may happen when you store a Connection related Filter state using either ctx.getStopAction(state) or ctx.getInvokeAction(state).

In your case I'd say could be ctx.getInvokeAction(state); , because first of all you say you don't do that, second is ctx.getStopAction(state) checks if the state is Appendable and if it's not it will throw an Exception right away.
So it's probably ctx.getInvokeAction(state);, or something else, which we'll need to investigate using patch(es).

WBR,
Alexey.

Hi Tiran,

is it possible for you to create a testcase so I can try to reproduce the problem locally?
Or I can prepare you a patch and try to find out when exactly MultiLinePacket gets saved to the FilterChain store.

WBR,
Alexey.

Hi Alexey,
I call filterChainCtx.getStopAction() [note without arguments] in 2 places:

1. In the MultiLinePacket itself, following the same logic of the MultiLinePacket shown in the examples; note it is used for front end and backend filter chains

2. Right after closing the front end client's connection (connection.close()); this also causes the backend server connection to be closed

Please note that the stack trace shows the problem happens when writing a request to my backend server (I'm acting as a client here, in general I'm a proxy so I both a server and a client at the same time, using Grizzly both way).

Hope that sheds some light on the issue.

Hi Tiran,

do you ever call something like
filterChainCtx.getStopAction(multiLinePacket)?

The object failing to be casted in our derivation of the MultiLinePacket (which doesn't implement Appendable of course, similar to the original MultiLinePacket).

Can someone advise on why are we getting this error and what leads to this flow (after all, the vast majority of the flows pass without a problem)?
