           Summary: Make 'set static fields to null' ClassLoader leak
                    workaround behaviour configurable
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: taras.tielkes@gmail.com


The 5.5.13-beta release includes a workaround for webapp Classloader reference
leaks.
>From the changelog:
-------------
(Add code to set to null fields in loaded classes when stopping a web
application, as a possible workaround for suspicious garbage collection
behavior. (remm))
-------------

The workaround minimizes the symtoms, but not the causes of webapp Classloader
leaks.
For purposes of diagnotics, I'd like to be able to revert back to the old
behaviour, with the workaround code disabled.

This behaviour should be configurable, similar to how "antiResourceLocking" and
"antiJARLocking" are configurable on the Context level.

Changing to an enhancement request.  Taras, if you feel like submitting a patch,
that'd be great.

Is there any progress here?
We are facing some serious issues with this memory leak workaround (e.g. using
ojb cross-context prevents redeployment) and would like to see the config option
in one of the next releases.

Regards, Thorsten

Flag for toggling memory leak workaround

This patch for the container subproject adds a new flag to the context
configuration named "nullifyReferences" that toggles the workaround for memory
leaks on redeployment of webapplications, see changelog of the 5.5.13-beta
release. The default is true.

Hi,

thanks for the help. I finally had the time to look into this. I attached a 
patch that adds the flag we needed in the current trunk version. Per default 
the workaround stays enabled. Additionally there was a minor version mismatch 
in the .classpath file.

Hi,

I'd like to vote for this request. We have some problems with redeployment of a 
webapp that seems to result from this workaround. The webapp runs several 
threads (for example within JCS) that use Log4j with commons-logging. After the 
redeployment of the application these threads are trying to access the 
LogManager which results in a NPE as all the fields were set to null. So a 
possibility of disabling of the workaround would be really nice. I seem to have 
a problem accessing the anonymous cvs, so I can't offer any patches, sorry.

Is your access to anonymous CVS/SVN better now?
