Memory leak in PoolableProxyHandler
-----------------------------------

                 Key: COCOON-2259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2259
             Project: Cocoon
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: * Cocoon Core
    Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.2-dev (Current SVN)
            Reporter: Alexander Daniel


I reproduced the problem with following pipeline and by adding log output to 
PoolableProxyHandler [1]
<map:pipeline id="cocoonTest" type="noncaching">
        <map:match pattern="cocoonProtocol">
                <map:generate src="cocoon://sub"/>
                <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
        </map:match>
        <map:match pattern="sub">
                <map:generate src="welcome/welcome.xml"/>
                <map:transform src="welcome/welcome.xslt"/>
                <map:serialize type="xhtml"/>
        </map:match>
</map:pipeline>

Changing the line 
     this.attributeName = PoolableProxyHandler.class.getName() + '/' + 
this.handler.hashCode();
to
     this.attributeName = PoolableProxyHandler.class.getName() + '/' + 
this.hashCode();
fixes the memory leak.

Why? The PoolableFactoryBean [2] handler is a singleton for every pipeline 
component, i.e. one instance for noncaching pipeline, one instance for xalan 
transformer, ... Therefore the attributeName is the same for every component of 
the same type but Spring requires an unique value for the destruction callback 
handler.

In the example sitemap above two noncaching pipeline instances are needed for 
processing the request. Both call registerDestructionCallback with the same 
attributeName. Because the attributeName is the same the callback is only 
called once and the other component remains in ThreadLocal.
