Forrest Xia commented on GERONIMO-5800:
---------------------------------------
I did not follow up the history discussion here for this jira, can anyone
provide a reproduceble steps here to reproduce this issue? A sample application
could help a lot on determining this issue quickly.
Thanks!
> logged-in Subjects are cleaned up after web requests complete

> Key: GERONIMO-5800
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5800
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Jetty, Tomcat
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0
> Reporter: David Jencks
> Assignee: David Jencks
>
> We generally don't clean up the logged in Subject when a web request returns.
> This results in a memory leak in ContextManager.subjectContexts. As well as
> geronimo changes I think this will need changes in the Jetty Authenticators
> we use. I think we control all the affected tomcat code. Ejb requests
> appear to already clean this up on exit.
> As an application-level workaround your app can call:
> Subject subject = ContextManager.getCurrentCaller();
> ContextManager.unregisterSubject(subject);
> immediately before control returns to the client. (I haven't tested this to
> make sure it doesn't break something else)
> Thanks to Morten Svanaes and David Frahm for reporting this problem on the
> user list. There may be a similar problem in 2.1.x but the code and solution
> will be somewhat different.
