> Key: LOGGING-108
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGGING-108
> Project: Commons Logging
> Type: Bug
> Versions: 1.1 Final
> Environment: JDK 1.5.0_07, Tomcat 5.5.17
> commons-logging-api-1.1.jar is configured for the Tomcat bootstrap
> commons-logging-adapters-1.1.jar is deployed with a webapp
> log4j-1.2.11 is deployed with webapp
> This is the configuration specifically described in the release notes for 1.1:
> " New jar file commons-logging-adapters-xxx.jar is now provided. This can be
> used to resolve class cast conflicts where parts of commons-logging are
> deployed via different classloaders. It is not expected to be frequently
> used; it is only necessary in situations where a container has deployed
> commons-logging-api.jar and a webapp wants to bind to a third-party
> logging implementation such as log4j. In this case, the webapp can
> experience problems if it deploys commons-logging.jar as this causes
> duplicates of the core commons-logging classes, but commons-logging-adapters
> can be safely used."

> Some Tomcat Jasper implementation classes are initialized (that mean static fields and static initializer) when the current thread has the webapp classloader set as the context classloader.
> An example of this is org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl
> If the first JSP page rendered on a freshly started Tomcat 5.5.17 is for a webapp that contains the configuration described in the "Environment" section above, a leak will occur:
> The class PageContextImpl (loader by CL above Webapp classloader in delegation chain) stays loaded for the duration of the JVM
> The "log" field in this class refers to a class loaded from a WebappClassloader.
> This produces a classloader reference leak to the webapp, even after undeployment.
