Craig Russell commented on JDO-238:
-----------------------------------

Looks good. A few comments.

1. The thread count of 2 doesn't seem to be much of a test. How about 14 or so?

2. The use of a local pmf should be restricted to where you need more than the single PMF that most tests use. Rather, the pmf defined in JDO_Test can be accessed directly without hiding it by the local pmf.

3. The use of testXXX should be avoided as testXXX methods are special cases for JUnit. Suggest calling the testConcurrent something like runConcurrentThreads.

> The TCK test ThreadSafe runs multiple threads, where each thread tries to persist the same pc instance using its own PM. The expected behavior is that one thread succeeds persisting the pc instance and stores it at transaction commit. All other threads should result in a JDOException because the pc instance is already bound to a different PM. All threads close the PM at the end. 
> Now, it might happen that the succeeding thread closes the PM before a parallel thread tries to persist the pc instance. The behavior of pm.makePersistence for a pc instance bound to a closed pm is not specified, so it does not necessarily result in an exception.
> The test case should be changed such that the succeeding thread waits for all the other threads before closing the PM. Please note, the solution must be robust enough to avoid a deadlock situation even if an erroneous JDO implementation would allow multiple threads to succeed persisting the pc instance.
