http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31569 Dbcp doesn't meet JDBC specification Summary: Dbcp doesn't meet JDBC specification Product: Commons Version: 2.1 Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Dbcp AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The JDBC specification says for ResultSet and Statement that the ResultSet and Statement will be automatically closed when garbage collected. This means that people often write code like this Connection.getStatement().executeSQL("...."); However, because the DelegateConnection/DelegateStatement/DelegateResultSet extend AbandonedTrace (and are linked into the abandoned trace mechanism) they will not be garbage collected until the connection is closed. This of course means that DBCP holds on to lots of memory that it shouldn't do (I've had people complain to me of memory leaks). Surely it's possible to make the DelegateXX hold onto something else which does the AbandonedTrace and so when it is released it can do the implicit close and then everything will be coool. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
