Thomas Mueller reassigned JCR-1216: ----------------------------------- Assignee: Thomas Mueller > Unreferenced sessions should get garbage collected > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCR-1216 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1216 > Project: Jackrabbit > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jackrabbit-core > Reporter: Thomas Mueller > Assignee: Thomas Mueller > Attachments: userSessionPatch.txt > > > If an application opens many sessions and doesn't close them, they are never > garbage collected. After some time, the virtual machine will run out of > memory. This code will run out of memory after a few thousand logins: > Repository rep = new TransientRepository(); > for (int i = 0; ; i++) { > rep.login(new SimpleCredentials("", new char[0])); > } > Using a finalizer to close SessionImpl doesn't work, because it seems there > are references from the (hard referenced part of the cache) to the > SessionImpl objects. Maybe it is possible to remove those references, or > change them to weak references. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
