Hi,
Seems like a well-conducted investigation and test, kudos ;)

Please open a bugzilla issue for this and attach your patch there.  (Assuming this is 
OK with the active DBCP folks)

Subject: [DBCP] Very small memory leak

Our 12 and 24 hour stress tests (300 concurrent users inserting lots of data)� were 
running out of memory after about 8+ hours.� After some tests we determined that it 
was DBCP.� This determination was made by switching out the commons connection pooling 
and using an application server (Weblogic 8.1) connection pooling.� Using the 
application server connection pooling memory was not leaked.� So doing some debugging 
with some long running tests in my dev environment (using OptimizeIt), I determined 
that the KeyedCPDSConnectionFactory.java was leaking memory with the WeakHashMap 
(class member pcMap).� I don't understand why this should leak because the jdk 
documentation indicates that the keys in the map are weak referenced and when the keys 
are removed, the object is removed from the map.� Nonetheless, I made the following 
code change (diff is in attachment) and reran my dev tests and no leak occurred and we 
reran our stress tests in the performance lab and no leak occurred there either.� 
Perhaps some version of the JDK is causing this but I suspect others may run into this 
as well.� Included is a patch that fixed our problem:�
