[FYI] Memory Leaks in Quartz [Fwd: Re: [Springframework-user] Out of memory exception]

[Tony Collen <co...@umn.edu>]

FYI,

I can't remember exactly, but I think there was someone talking about 
OOME's and memory leaks when using the Quartz Scheduler in Cocoon.  I 
spotted this over on spring-user today, which might give some insight. 
  Wasn't sure if it was known about memory leaks in Quartz.

Not that we're using Spring for anything (yet ;) ;)), but it's 
informative nonetheless.

Regards,
Tony

This can have all sorts of reasons. Spring itself avoids memory leaks 
wherever it can, but it can't do much about third-party libraries 
leaking. Known problems are, for example, Hibernate's use of CGLIB, 
Quartz' use of the JavaBeans Introspector, and some internal use of a 
ThreadLocal in DOM4J (if I recall correctly).

To clean up after third-party libraries that use the JavaBeans 
Introspector, Spring provides the IntrospectorCleanupListener in the 
web.util package (to be registered as listener in web.xml). Note that 
this listener is *not* necessary for Spring's own beans support, just 
for third-party libraries like Quartz.

Thanks for quick help!

But i'm not using war to redeploy the webapp. Actually i just use
manager to stop/start or reload the webapp, and after several times,
OutOfMemoryException occurs.
