Mappings in TypeDesc can't be GC'ed
-----------------------------------
Key: AXIS-2232
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2232
Project: Apache Axis
Type: Improvement
Components: Deployment / Registries
Versions: current (nightly)
Reporter: David Blevins
The TypeDesc class holds a static Hashtable of class -> TypeDesc mappings.
This is fine if Axis is loaded into the only the same classloader as the app
itself (like when it's embedded in a webapp), but if axis is loaded into the
parent classloader of all webapps, the hashtable will prevent those children
classloaders from being garbage collected as it holds references to classes in
those children classloaders.
This patch 1) creates a Hashtable of class->TypeDesc for *each classloader* and
2) stores those hashtables in a WeakHashMap so they can be garbage collected
when the child classloaders are garbage collected.
