Richard S. Hall closed FELIX-1170. ---------------------------------- > MemoryLeak when stopping and restarting Felix > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-1170 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1170 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Framework > Affects Versions: felix-1.2.1 > Environment: Atlassian JIRA > Reporter: Jed Wesley-Smith > Assignee: Karl Pauls > Fix For: felix-2.0.0 > > Attachments: BundleProtectionDomain.java.FELIX-1170.patch > > > There is a memory leak caused by a strong reference from the > BundleProtectionDomain to a bundle and Felix. > The problem is that a URLClassLoader gets its AccessControlContext from the > stack - AccessController.getContext() calls > AccessController.getStackAccessControlContext() which is basically arbitrary > at the time. > In our case we have a ServletFilter plugin that is being loaded by Felix. > When a JasperLoader (a URLClassLoader) is created to load a JSP it inherits > the BundleProtectionDomain as part of its AccessControlContext. If we later > shut down Felix, it cannot be GC'd due to this reference. > For our purposes we have tested making the m_felix and m_bundle weak > references and have verified that it does indeed fix the problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
