Rick Curtis closed OPENJPA-746.
-------------------------------

      Assignee:     (was: Tim McConnell)
    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

As Mike stated  "I'd think that there's something unique about this test 
environment, otherwise we'd see this in SpecJAppServer, or DayTrader runs in 
JEE environments.. " I second that statement.

I'm going to close this issue as there hasn't been any activity in quite a long 
time. Please reopen if you can reproduce this issue and have some cycles the 
spend on the debug effort.

> We are using OpenJPA with Derby in our application. In our functional test 
> suite (using TestNG), we 
> repeatedly create a new Derby database and access it using an OpenJPA 
> EntityManager. The number
> of classes and tables is less than 10, but after about 100-200 create/destroy 
> cycles, the VM runs
> out of heap.
> I tried to track down the cause of the leak, and one possible cause seems to 
> be the MappingRepository
> class whose instance count kept increasing, while other "suspects" 
> (BrokerImpl, EntityManagerImpl,
> EntityManagerFactoryImpl,...) had a constant instance count. Because of the 
> latter, I am pretty sure that the 
> test suite itself does not hold on to OpenJPA instances longer than needed, 
> so I suspect a memory leak within 
> OpenJPA itself. What exactly keeps the MappingRepository instances from being 
> GC'd, I wasn't able to
> analyse given the time available and the complex reference graph that this 
> class is involved in.
> P.S.:
> I googled for OpenJPA memory leaks, and the only memory leak issue I came 
> across was the one
> involving multiple redeployments in Geronimo and ClassLoader leaks.
> This issue is different, because OpenJPA always runs in the same classloader. 
> I looked into the
> "PCRegistry._metas" static field, and the number of entries remained 
> constant. So I suspect that
> the reason for the leak is somewhere else.
