[jira] Updated: (IO-99) FileCleaner thread never ends and cause memory leak in AS

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-99?page=all ]

Jochen Wiedmann updated IO-99:
------------------------------

    Attachment: IO-99.patch

Proposed patch, in order to get this done (please note, that releases are waiting for this, as Henri wrote).

After considering Martin's and Stephen's suggestions, I followed Stephen's: The possibility to restart the thread raises, IMO, synchronization questions, which I do not want to address right now. The evaluation, whether a restart is required and a possible implementation may well be left for 1.4, IMO.

> FileCleaner opens a thread and no solution is given to the user to end it. So when an application is undeployed
> in an Application Server, a thread is still alive. The WebApp can't be undeployed and this results in a classloader
> leak that will cause an OutOfMemoryError.
> I think the API should be extended so that a user can end the thread. A better way would be to provide a class that
> cleans everything for commons IO.
