> 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...
