Deepa Remesh updated DERBY-210:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: derby-210-patch1.diff
                derby-210-patch1.status

I have attached a partial patch 'derby-210-patch1.diff' for this problem. It 
does not solve the entire memory leak problem. 

PreparedStatement references are stored by client driver at following places:
1. In org.apache.derby.client.am.Connection, they are added to 
java.util.LinkedList 'openStatements_' 
2. In org.apache.derby.client.am.Connection, they are added to 
java.util.LinkedList 'CommitAndRollbackListeners_' 
 
This patch eliminates the above references by using WeakHashMap instead of 
LinkedList. When there are no other references to the keys in a WeakHashMap, 
they will get removed from the map and can thus get garbage-collected. They do 
not have to wait till the Connection object is collected. 

I removed the list RollbackOnlyListeners_ since this is not being used. 

I have also updated the following comment for openStatements_: 
// Since DERBY prepared statements must be re-prepared after a commit,
// then we must traverse this list after a commit and notify statements
// that they are now in an un-prepared state.
final java.util.LinkedList openStatements_ = new java.util.LinkedList();

In the code, I did not see this list being traversed after a commit to 
re-prepare statements. Also, I think this is not needed since Derby does not 
require re-prepare of statements after a commit. Currently, this list is used 
to close all open statements when the originating connection is closed. 

With this patch, I ran derbyall successfully with Sun JDK 1.4.2 on Windows XP. 
I'd appreciate if someone can review this patch and provide me feedback.

> It is likely that the fix for this will have to be in the client.  The client

> PKGNAMCSN on the PRPSQLSTT request once the prepared statement has been 
> closed. This is how the server knows to close the old statement and create a 
> new one.
