Hi, If I understand this correctly, there are references lying around that point to objects that no longer are needed. Is this something the developer does or something tomcat does in compiling the servlets?
In other words, is there something the developer or administrator can do to avoid this? Does pre-compiling the jsp files avoid this? Another thing I'm not sure I understand is this: If you don't change the JSP pages, or class files, then the memory leak that is created just happens once. In this scenario, the memory leak wouldn't keep growing until eventually tomcat does. Is that correct?
