[jira] [Commented] (VELOCITY-801) Velocity 1.7 uses string interning

["Christopher Schultz (JIRA)" <de...@velocity.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13032077#comment-13032077 ] 

Christopher Schultz commented on VELOCITY-801:
----------------------------------------------

This is a relatively easy fix if String.intern is proven to be holding onto these references inappropriately for some reason: just provide a simple, local String interning mechanism that can be discarded when the instance of (for instance) the Velocity object is discarded.

I'm actually glad to see Velocity is interning strings, though :)

> String interning consumes memory that cannot be reclaimed by the java runtime even if the velocity runtime singleton is being discarded.
> This is an issue for server applications that use Velocity (e.g. we have a software product that may use tens of thousands of Velocity files to create content dynamically).
