Analyzing Java Classloader Deadlocks Using CSP and FDR

This paper describes a recent project within the IBM Java Technology Centre at Hursley, to use CSP and the FDR model-checking tool to analyse the cause of certain deadlocks within the Java class loader. Techniques for the CSP modelling of several procedural programming patterns such as recursion, multi-threading and locking are presented, together with their application to the specific case of the Java class loader.
