On the client side, I specifically made sure the call to set the wsdl location on the factories did a "location = new String(location);" type thing to make sure the String is not an interned string. Had to do that due to the strings being compiled directly in to the code and such. It's quite possible that hasn't been done on the server side, but probably should.

It's good that you're doing this. The way the "standalone" tck works, we don't hit these things. We have that setup to create a new Bus (and thus new WSDLManagerImpl) for each of the deployed application. Also, everything is deployed upfront at startup. They aren't ever undeployed/redeployed.

On a related note -
There seems to be one more interesting issue here at WSDLManagerImpl. The definitionsMap holds the WSDLDefinitions against a weak key, again relying
on the WeakHashMap semantics for removal.

The loadDefinition(String) method loads the WSDLDef and puts this in a map against a String key. But this String key, is a literal String and will be present in the constant pool, where garbage collection never happens. This would mean the key would always be referenced from the constant pool, and
the entry would never be removed:-(

We shall fix this by always putting a URL as key in this map. The only valid usage I saw was from WSDLServiceFactory. The WSDLServiceFactory, instead of using the wsdlManager.getDefinition(String) method, can create a URL from
this String, strongly refer the URL from wsdlURL field, and invoke the
wsdlManager.getDefinition(URL) method.

Any suggestions?

I figured out a memory leak at WSDLManagerImpl schemaCacheMap.
The schemaCacheMap here has a weak key - WSDLDefinition and value
ServiceSchemaInfo. A key,value pair is inserted into this map while building a service. The entry is never explicitly removed from this map. Since the map is a WeakHashMap, it is assumed that when the key WSDLDefinition is weakly referenced, the entry would be removed from the map. But it is seen that the value ServiceSchemaInfo(the value) holds on to a SchemaInfo which in turn holds on to the ServiceInfo, which holds the WSDLDefinition through
the AbstractPropertiesHolder.
This would mean that the value of the CacheMap always strongly refers to the key, which would mean the entry would never be removed from the map.
"*The value objects in a WeakHashMap are held by ordinary strong
references. Thus care should be taken to ensure that value objects do not strongly refer to their own keys, either directly or indirectly, since that
will prevent the keys from being discarded"

*This would mean ServiceInfo, OperationInfo, BindingInfo, WSDLDefinition
would all stay in the VM even after the endpoint is stopped.

One solution I could think of was to explicitly remove the entry on
endpoint stop, instead of relying on the WeakHashMap semantics. This would work fine for server endpoints. But Is there any way to do so for client
endpoints?
