> We have been aware of a memory leak in our system for several years.  After 
> other alterations to our code base it finally reached a stage where we could 
> get an OutOfMemoryError in a couple of days.
> So after spending days trying to find a memory leak in our system I finally 
> pinpointed a leak.

> This class has a hashmap called classCache which uses className (a 
> StringBuffer) as a key.
> You cannot use StringBuffer as a key in a hashmap as it does not override 
> Object's hashCode() method.
> I attached a debugger and saw the number of items in this map incrementing 
> even though I was returning to a page which was already in the map.
> One potential fix is just to call toString() on className when putting it 
> into the classCache.  However as you are only concatenating 5 items className 
> could be changed to a String as follows:
> String className = it.next() + "." + packageName + "." + name;
> This is less code and also removes the need for the toString() method on 
> subsequent uses of the className.
> Patch:

> <                 StringBuffer className = new StringBuffer();
> < 
> <                 className.append(it.next());
> <                 className.append('.');
> <                 className.append(packageName);
> <                 className.append('.');
> <                 className.append(name);
