AFAIK java.lang.reflect.Proxy actually has its own internal cache of proxy classes, so removing the cache should not result in the generation of any more proxy class objects.
Also from the WeakHashMap javadoc: " The value objects in a * <tt>WeakHashMap</tt> are held by ordinary strong references. Thus care * should be taken to ensure that value objects do not strongly refer to their * own keys, either directly or indirectly, since that will prevent the keys * from being discarded. " I would be worried that the reference from the annotation would prevent the class loader from being cleaned up, thus causing a memory leak.
