Body:
The Mail object is held in the userInbox for the duration of the session. When
streaming is possible (there is an issue to be fixed with db protocol, but not file or
dbfile), the message is streamed directly from store to wire. When resetHandler is
called in the finally {} clause of handleConnection, the objects are released.

Key: JAMES-248
Summary: memory management - finalize/nullify after successful delivery of
retrieved MailImpl
Type: Improvement
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Project: James
Versions:
2.1.3
Assignee:
Reporter: Ralf Hauser
Created: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 11:54 AM

Environment: Redhat 9
Description:
My application required an adaptation of the MailRepository.retrieve() method.
It creates a temporary object on disk and I provided it with a finalize() method for
cleaning up.
The interesting thing is that this finalize is not executed until I shut-down james.
This leads me to the conclusion that even if there was no ties to a disk operation the
mipl.setMessage(mimeMessage);
remains in memory long after the MUA has disconnected.
Isn't this kind of a memory leak? After all, attachments to such a MIMEMessage can be
13MB large.
Shouldn't those objects be null-ed latest after the POP3Handler.doQUIT of a session?
