Kai Grabfelder commented on IBATIS-540: --------------------------------------- cool, then I guess it is save to apply it ;-). @Devs? What do you think? > Classloader memory leak because of ThreadLocal in ResultObjectFactoryUtil > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IBATIS-540 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-540 > Project: iBatis for Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL Maps > Affects Versions: 2.3.3, 2.3.4 > Reporter: Sylvain Laurent > Attachments: ibatis patch for classloader memleak.txt > > > I'm using iBatis in a webapp with Spring and facing memory leaks upon > redeployment oft he webapp. > I tracked the leaks to ibatis, where the class ResultObjectFactoryUtil has a > static ThreadLocal factorySettings > The problem is that the value bound to a Thread through this ThreadLocal is > never nullified, and since the "factorySettings" is a static variable, the > ThreadLocal instance is reachable as long as the ClassLoader of the webapp is > reachable. But since the FactorySettings instance is bound to the Thread > through a strong reference (see the JDK implementation of ThreadLocal in > ThreadLocalMap$Entry), the classloader is finally never collected... > The solution is to always cleanup the ThreadLocal after usage (in > SqlExecurtor) > I attach a patch for iBatis 2.3.4 to this issue -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
