Re: Memory Leak at WSDLManagerImpl

Hmmm....   good sleuthing.

You definitely don't want to unregister it on endpoint stop or when  
done with the client.   The whole point of the cache is to hold onto  
it so it's reusable.  On popular thing to do is create a client, use  
it once, discard.  Create another client, use it once, discard.   
Etc...  The cache is to help that.

I think what might make some sense is to get rid of the schemaCacheMap  
entirely.   Change the definitionsMap to be a Map<Object, DefPair> map  
where DepPair holds a wsdldef and the schema.   Thus, the keys would  
be the same keys for the wsdl.

The put/set's would be more expensive as you would need to iterate  
through the cache to find the pair.  I doubt the map would be very big  
though so that may be acceptable.

Definitely.  Once they are there on 2.1, I'll port them over to  
2.0.7.   Great work.

Re: Memory Leak at WSDLManagerImpl

Posted by Bharath Ganesh <bh...@gmail.com>.
I have verified the GC with the below fix(schemaCacheMap has a weak value)
and the literal String fix(now always use the url at WSDLServiceFactory as
key).

After an application undeployment, things look fine on the Java EE Server.
Except that the entry in JAXBCONTEXT_CACHE in JAXBDataBinding would be still
retained till the next endpoint deployment/undeployment - WeakHashMap
expunges stale entries only on map access. Thus the classloader and JAXB
classes of the undeployed application would still be on the heap till the
next app deployment. This is not a memory leak. Later we can think of a
daemon thread which will access this map periodically to force stale entry
expunging.

Will commit these changes on 2.1 branch. DanK hope you will apply on 2.0.7
also.

Re: Memory Leak at WSDLManagerImpl

Posted by Bharath Ganesh <bh...@gmail.com>.
Yes we would need to iterate through the map while putting/getting the
ServiceSchemaInfo.
Do you think we should instead choose to retain the schemaCacheMap, but make
the value always a weak object. (Putting a WeakReference of the
ServiceSchemaInfo in the map). This way also we can solve the current
problem.
What do you say?
