    Description

      First requests to the RampartMessageData in multi-thread execution are failing with error for already locked parameter. This occurs when more than one thread is trying to set CLIENT_SIDE param to the service, the first thread locks the parameter during the addition and the rest cannot override it because it's already locked. I'm providing a patch with test which proves that when threads are more than one a race condition is available during the execution and due to this condition the defect is hard to be reproduced every time. In practise it is failing about 3-4 times for 100 runs (based onto my machine).

      One possible solution is to be used some synchronization mechanism when the parameter is being locked, I'm attaching a patch which uses "synchronized" block by static object (I suppose that an another synchronization mechanism also can be used). I am not sure whether this parameter really should be set per service and if it is not then a synchronization will not be need because the parameter will not be created for every call but this can be answered in the best way by the Rampart developers.

      rampart-core
      org.apache.rampart.RampartMessageData.java

      ...
      if (axisService != null && axisService.getParameter(PARAM_CLIENT_SIDE) != null) {
      	this.isInitiator = true; //<---- After the addition of the parameter the rest of the threads enter here
      } else {
      	this.isInitiator = !msgCtx.isServerSide();
      	// TODO if Axis Service is null at this point, do we have to
      	// create a dummy one ??
      	if (this.isInitiator && axisService != null) {
      		Parameter clientSideParam = new Parameter(); //<---- Two or more threads enter here because the parameter is still not set
      		clientSideParam.setName(PARAM_CLIENT_SIDE);
      		clientSideParam.setLocked(true); //<---- Parameter is being locked
      		msgCtx.getAxisService().addParameter(clientSideParam); //<---- Threads are trying to add the parameter more than once and an exception is generated 
      	}
      }
