TempClassLoader buffer reuse reduces memory requirements
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENEJB-1265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1265
             Project: OpenEJB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: server
    Affects Versions: 3.1.x
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Andy Gumbrecht
            Priority: Trivial
         Attachments: TempClassLoader.patch

The current TempClassLoader potentially uses a new 8k ByteArrayOutputStream per 
class that it inspects. 
Whilst hunting for a possible ClassLoader issue I  found that replacing the 
ByteArrayOutputStream with a reusable one leads to a substantial reduction in 
memory during server start up.

I am unable to quantify what 'substantial' means in real terms as I have not 
run any real benchmarking, but it is fair to say that I had noticed heap sizes 
growing to over 180m during a server start compared to the 90m that I have now. 
These values would be application specific, but it would be nice to see if this 
is an improvement for others.

I have also synchronized a few access methods to ensure that resources are 
protected during the inspection process.
