Niall Pemberton updated BEANUTILS-156:
--------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: LATER THAN 1.8.0)
                   1.8.0
         Assignee: Niall Pemberton

The declaredMethodCache was removed from MappedPropertyDescriptor for issue# BEANUTILS-6 (on 1st Sept 2005) - see revision 265760[1]. BeanUtils already contained equivalent functionality in the getMatchingAccessibleMethod() method in MethodUtils - so this was used to replace the functionality in MappedPropertyDescriptor.

However MethodUtils also uses a static Map to cache "Method" instances (keyed by MethodDescriptor) - the difference is that the Map in this case is a WeakHashMap. Does this resolve this issue? If it doesn't then the MethodUtils static WeakHashMap be put inside a ContextClassLoaderLocal[2] instance - which would mean there would be a cache of methods (i.e. Map) for each ClassLoader in a WeakHashMap.

> Class MappedPropertyDescriptor has a Hashtable declaredMethodCache containing a
> mapping from Class to Method[]. If this class were to be deployed via a shared
> webapp, then any reference in there to a class loaded via the webapp classloader
> will prevent the webapp classloader from being garbage-collected when the webapp
> is undeployed.
