Thank you, Jochen! It is very helpful.
So, what I understand is that I can cache either the Script (evalScript)
*or* Script Class (evalScript.getClass()) instances in my application
code and reuse them.
well, since you put the "or" in bold I tend to think you think this is
an exclusive choice. You can use both if you want. Depends really on if
it makes sense for you or not. You will always have one class, you will
always need x instances for x parallel operations. If you cache the
instance, you indirectly cache the class. The only factor then is if I
make the instances each time fresh, or produce only x. Producing only x
instances will have a little bit better results, but then you have to
have a clean up strategy for the pool as well. Instance and class go
together... so not really either-or... but of course nothing is really
for free
I tried by caching Script Class (evalScript.getClass()) instance and
reuse it in my code and the results are much better. For each thread, I
am retrieving the Script Class from my cache and generating its new
instance by calling scriptClass.newInstance()
ok
Does above caching of Script Class (evalScript.getClass()) instance in
my application code can cause any memory leak or delayed clean-up of the
generated classes and meta classes (as you mentioned in your last point)?
nothing to worry about. The problem starts when you have potentially 100
thousands of such classes (*not* instances)
