Committed revision 344443. > URLJarFile memory leak > ---------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1177 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1177 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Bug > Components: common > Versions: 1.0-M5 > Environment: Win XP/ JDK 1.4.2 > Reporter: Kevan Miller > Assignee: Jeff Genender > Fix For: 1.0 > Attachments: urljarfile.patch > > There is a Sun bug which is causing a memory leak of URLJarFile instances in > Geronimo. The problem is caused by > http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4167874 -- > sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarFileFactory will hold onto strong references to > all URLJarFile instances. So URLJarFiles can never be GCed. This means that > for every deploy/undeploy of an application, you'll leak URLJarFiles. > The problem can be avoided by calling > URLConnection.setDefaultUseCaches(false); This will turn off the caching in > JarFileFactory. > I have a fix which adds a GeronimoEnvironment class that can be used to > perform common environment setup for server, client, and deployer processes. > GeronimoEnvironment.init(); is invoked as appropriate from these three > process environments. init() currently only sets DefaultUseCaches to false. > There may be other functions which we could move there, but I didn't > investigate too deeply... > Note that setDefaultUseCaches(false) is a "global" setting. So it affects the > entire runtime. URLConnection.setUseCaches(false) does not fix the problem. > I'll post my patch, shortly... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
