Ryan Fong edited comment on JCS-177 at 5/5/17 3:51 PM: ------------------------------------------------------- I have attached one possible solution that should fix this problem as jcs-177.patch. An alternative to this is to have a pointer from CompositeCache to CompositeCacheManager so we do not incur the overhead of incrementing and decrementing the client count. Also find an Eclipse project that uses stock 2.1 to demonstrate how the leak occurs and how CompositeCacheManager.freeCache avoids this issue. Update: I just discovered that auxiliaryCaches is leaking as well. I have updated the patch and test with a suggestion but did not compile it. was (Author: rpmcfong): I have attached one possible solution that should fix this problem as jcs-177.patch.
