Re: Java can leak...

[Michael Becke]

My impression of your first email was that the server had used up the 
4GB of memory.  Are you saying it was HttpClient?  If so, you must have 
run the JVM and specified the max heap size to something like -Xmx4GB.  
If that's the case then this is probably something you don't want to 
do.  Once Java gets over the minimum heap size, specified by -Xms, it 
will continue to expand all the way up to the max, even if it doesn't 
need to.  Once the JVM allocates memory to the heap it never releases 
it.  Is this what's happening?

Oleg,

I understand what you mean my mem alloc, but Java can leak, it's a 
proven fact.  Anytime ROOT has a reference to something it makes it 
unable to GC, however, if you loose your reference and ROOT still has 
it's, that's a memory leak.  ROOT will never GC that memory.  Ask 
youself this, if Memory leaks were impossible in JAVA, how can 
programs such as JProfiler or OptimizIt sell?

Jan,

HttpClient is a pure Java application and as such does not manage 
memory
allocation directly. I suggest that you check if there are any known
issues with the jvm you are using. Upgrading to HttpClient beta-1 
would
not hurt, anyways.

Does anyone know of any memory issues with opening a connection and 
continuely re-using it, only closing it when a socket timeout 
happens? I'm currently using ALPHA 3.  I have to "fake out a 
browser" and navigate through a website to extract information 
because they don't offer a straight DB connection.  I re-use this 
connection the whole time, never closing it, only recycling it, 
unless I get a socket timeout, ConnectionException, or 
HTTPRecoverableException.  Our Production server has 4GB of ram.  
Last night we ran and the system went down to 4MB free, 4!  I'm just 
wondering if I'm leaking due to HTTP Client.  I've gone over my 
stuff and it looks relatively solid, I'm wondering now if I'm using 
HttpClient incorrectly.  Does Beta 1 help with any memory issues?
