James M Snell commented on ABDERA-46:
-------------------------------------
The WeakHashMap is supposed to be helping to prevent memory leaks. It's
possible that other parts of the application are still holding references to
the objects which may be preventing the map from being cleaned appropriately.
I've checked in a fix that synchronizes put's to the WeakHashMap. Reads are
not synchronized. Please give it a test and let me know if it works for you.
If not, I'll synchronized reads also.
> Memory Leak and Concurency Bug in Factory

> Okay, am trying to reconstruct this from memory as I thought we had a filed a
> bug on it months agao when we found it...
> If you use the same Factory from multiple threads it maintains a map of
> extension namespaces. When you create a new element it accesses this map and
> if an addition is going the reader can get caught traversing it forever.
> (HashMap is not thread safe).
> This map also keeps all extensions it ever sees, which can lead to a memory
> leak if you use the default factory a lot -- say, with hundreds of thousands
> of extensions in my case.
