Somewhere in my Vaadin application, I'm getting this exception as soon as I connect using a second browser
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: A connector with id 22 is already registered!
at com.vaadin.ui.ConnectorTracker.registerConnector(ConnectorTracker.java:133)
It happens always in the same place but I don't know why exactly as the reason for this must be somewhere else.
I think I might be stealing UI components from the other session - which is not my intention.
Currently, I don't see any static
instances of UI components I might be using in multiple sessions.
How can I debug this? It's become quite a large project. Any hints to look for?
Here is how I fixed it -
1) look for components you have shared across sessions. For example if you have declared a component as static it will be created once and will be shared.
2) if you are not able to find it and want a work around until you figure out the real problem, put your all addComponent calls in try and in catch add following code -
getUI().getConnectorTracker().markAllConnectorsDirty();
getUI().getConnectorTracker().markAllClientSidesUnititialized();
getPage().reload():
This will clear old connectors and will reload the page properly only when it fails. For me it was failing when I was logged out and logged in back.
Once you find the real problem you can fix it till then inform your customers about the reload.
**** note - only solution is to remove shared components this is just a work around.

That was it. I was actually stealing UI components without prior knowledge.
It was very well hidden in a part which seems to be same for all instances. Which is true: the algorithm is the same.
Doesn't mean I should've reused the same UI components as well...
Thanks to those who took a closer look.
Yes, this usually happens because you are attaching a component already attached in other session.
Try logging the failed connector with a temporal ConnectorTracker
, So the next time that it happens, you can catch it.
For example:
public class SomeUI extends UI {
private ConnectorTracker tracker;
@Override
public ConnectorTracker getConnectorTracker() {
if (this.tracker == null) {
this.tracker = new ConnectorTracker(this) {
@Override
public void registerConnector(ClientConnector connector) {
try {
super.registerConnector(connector);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Failed connector: {0}", connector.getClass().getSimpleName());
throw e;
}
}
};
}
return tracker;
}
}
