> LogFactory.java maintains a static cache (Hashtable) of LogFactories, keyed by 
> context ClassLoader. In JBoss, and may be in many other J2EE containers, each 
> hot-redeployment of a J2EE application makes a new class loader for the 
> application, destroying all references to the old one. However, commons-logging.
> jar is loaded by a parent classloader which is common for all applications, and 
> still maintains hard references to would-be-dead ClassLoaders of undeployed 
> applications. This leads to significant memory leaks, because all static members 
> of all classes of the undeployed applications do not become a subject for GC. It 
> would be excellent if this LogFactory caching could be disabled through a config 
> or a WeakHashMap is used instead of Hashtable.
