Jarek Gawor commented on AXIS2-3011:
------------------------------------
It all depends what the configuration context is used for or what information
is stored in it. If it contains general info such as what transport driver
should be used, it should be totally fine to reuse. But if some information
about a particular web service is stored in it then it cannot be shared. And if
it cannot be shared (since each web service client will require its own
configuration context) then the ServiceDescription caching done in
DescriptionFactoryImpl must be completely removed.

> The DescriptionFactoryImpl.createServiceDescription() function attempts to
> cache/reuse the ServiceDescription objects and that leads to memory leaks.
> First, a Hashtable is used for the cache. That means, any ServiceDescription
> created will always live in the cache and won't ever be reclaimed (and there
> is no clear cache function). Some sort of WeakHashMap could help the problem
> so that at least some unused ServiceDescription objects could be reclaimed.
> Second, the createServiceDescription() uses the
> DescriptionFactory.createClientConfigurationFactory().getClientConfigurationContext()
> to get the client configuration context. It looks like by default the
> ClientConfigurationFactory.getClientConfigurationContext() does NOT cache the
> configuration context. Therefore, each call creates a new configuration
> object. That means, that by default ServiceDescription will NOT be reused
> since the configuration context object instance is used to determine if the
> ServiceDescription should be reused or not (see DescriptionKey.equals()
> function).
> So, a simple program that calls createServiceDescription() repeatably in a
> loop (with the same arguments) will quickly run out of memory.
