[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-983) Memory used by proxies isn't released by dereferencing the proxy (I speculate)

["Kevan Miller (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-983?page=all ]

Kevan Miller updated GERONIMO-983:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: ReferenceIdentityMap.patch

This patch file allows Proxies to be GC'ed without explicit calls to destroyProxy(). The existing IdentityHashMap is replaced with a ReferenceIdentityMap from Commons Collections. The ReferenceIdentityMap is configured to use WeakReferences for the proxy "keys" -- allowing a proxy and associated MethodInterceptor to be GC'ed. Builds, tests/itests pass, and basic deploy/undeploy of web apps all work. I've also verified that proxies, MethodInterceptors, etc are being automatically reclaimed by GC.

I'll ping Dain to weigh in on this issue. It's time to get this closed out...

> The console uses lots of proxies and doesn't manually close them, just releases the references.  Seems like this leaks memory.
