api.hd.HDBase(Config config) constructor deadlocks

[hubert-dufourt]

Hi,

I'm currently running the latest version of your api (4.1.1) and the api.hd.HDBase(Config config) constructor deadlocks with itself. Is that function supposed to be called since the github documentation (I am not aware that there is a more complete one for the Java apikit) doesn't mention it ?

This issues probably stems from the fact that you initialize a PipeInputStream and a PipeOutputStream in the same thread (l. 129/130 of HDBase.java). The JavaDoc of both objects warns the user about that issue.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day,

Thanks for pointing that out. Odd that we do that. I'll get that fixed. (And add tests - Gah !!).
In the mean time, can you call the constructor with a config filename instead ? Is that an option for you ?
Cheers, Richard.

Hi,
Tbh I used to call the constructor with the config filename but I was trying to avoid to put a file containing my company's precious handset-detection credentials on a repository.

The lib doesn't access the config file outside of the constructor ? (currently thinking of encrypting it and only having a clear version only when calling the constructor)

Cheers, Hubert.

Edit: This or the constructor that takes a byte array. It doesn't look like it is affected by the issue.
