Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** I believe I found what the problem was. It seems to be a timing issue because of the intermittent occurrence of the problem the user is having. I read through the notes and thought it might have been related to another apar (PM87924) that we tried to fix. This other apar didn't go far enough however. When I was trying some things in my own development environment, the problem happened to me and I got a stack trace that showed the SAXexception that occurred. Once the SAXexception occurred, it skipped the logic that set the encoding string which is used later on when the build descriptor properties are trying to be saved to disk. This caused an exception and subsequently the properties file did not get written. This in turn causes the loss of the build descriptor settings, the next time they are tried to be read from disk. I believe the original SAXexception is the root problem. This exception is thrown by the SAX parser when more than 1 thread is trying to parse at the same time. This is not allowed. In order to fix this, the java keyword "synchronized" needed to be specified on the method that calls the SAX parser.
Problem conclusion
The software was updated to use the java keyword "synchronized" when called the SAX parser.
Temporary fix
