We have an application that is using Cocoon 2.1.5.1 (I know that's a wee bit old)
When we run this on Tomcat 5.5.25.0 with Java 1.5.0_16 (although these versions do not seem to make any difference) and we use the -XX:+UseParallelGC option. With the application IDLE, no clients have even attempted to connect. We see on Windows a handle leak at a rate of approx 64 handles (32 Event and 32 Semaphore) every 5-6 seconds. Oh, and it's a Heisenbug... if we attach a profiler or even JConsole the leak stops while we're attached, only to resume when we detatch! Now the good news is that this seems to be fixed in 2.1.12-SNAPSHOT... and it's not present in 2.0.4 So... I searched the change-log for the 2.1 stream and I cannot see anyone having claimed to "fix a windows handle leak", yet it is fixed! My problem is that we need to fix the handle leak in a service pack... so I really just want to patch the 2.1.5.1 we are using and remove the leaky code, as to get our app working with 2.1.12 requires too many changes for a service pack. By the way, I think the leak is also present without the -XX:+UserParallelGC.... but since the defauly garbage collection presumes that this is a short lived application and therefore garbage collection can be put off until really needed (since there's no need if you're a short lived app) Any thoughts? -Stephen -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Cocoon-2.1.5.1-and-Windows-Handle-Leak-tp19430635p19430635.html Sent from the Cocoon - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
