Ralph Goers commented on COCOON-1574:
-------------------------------------

Possibly, but the caching is only one of the problems that needs to be 
addressed.  Other issues include that document retrieval is done via a 
synchronized method (I'm still unclear as to why) and that the configured file 
needs to resolved using the PreparedVariableResolver.  Basically, I plan on 
dumping the whole DocumentHelper object as it is tied to a fixed document, 
which is not at all useful for what I need. Furthermore, the code currently 
caches the DocumentHelper object. I plan on putting the document itself in the 
store, which seems much more appropriate.

> I'm currently looking into a memory leak issue at Apache Forrest.  Forrest's
> site currently needs to be built with -Xmx128m because of this.  I believe the
> issue is originated at Cocoon's LinkRewriterTransformer or XMLFileModule.
> A memory profiler shows lots (30MB+) of DOM DocumentImpls (150+ objects), 
> which
> get referenced by XMLFileModule.DocumentHelper.  Their URIs are linkmap-xxx.
> LinkRewriterTransformer#createTransformedLink(String) uses a 
> InputModuleHelper,
> which seems to reference a XMLFileModule.
>   ...
>   newLink = (String) modHelper.getAttribute(this.objectModel,
>                      ^^^^^^^^^
>   ...
> The XMLFileModule keeps the visited documents in a map, which is where they
> build up.
> Just for testing, I changed XMLFileModule#getDocumentHelper(Configuration) 
> from
>   this.documents.put(src, new DocumentHelper(reload, cache, src, this));
> to
>   return new DocumentHelper(reload, cache, src, this);
> Thus, a new DocumentHelper is created every time, instead of caching them.  
> The
> result: No more memory problems, Apache Forrest's site builds again with 
> -Xmx32.
