Henri Yandell commented on IO-99:
---------------------------------


The static initializer for FileCleaner:

    static {
        reaper.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
        reaper.setDaemon(true);
        reaper.start();
    }

Do daemon threads cause problems in undeploys?

> FileCleaner thread never ends and cause memory leak in AS

>          Issue Type: Bug

> FileCleaner opens a thread and no solution is given to the user to end it. So 
> when an application is undeployed
> in an Application Server, a thread is still alive. The WebApp can't be 
> undeployed and this results in a classloader
> leak that will cause an OutOfMemoryError.
> I think the API should be extended so that a user can end the thread. A 
> better way would be to provide a class that
> cleans everything for commons IO.
