> The following prevents the web application classloader from being garbage 
> collected on hot redeploys of web applications. 
> Please note that the issue is present on J2SE 1.5 as well. I use 1.6 only 
> because it has far better support for JVMTI and as such the issue was easy to 
> discover with YourKit profiler. Here it is:
> 1. org.apache.hivemind.service.impl.ThreadEventNotifierImpl puts 
> EventListenerList ("list" variable) on its private ThreadLocal "_storage" 
> variable in addThreadCleanupListener method.
> 2. No where in that class does the actual list gets removed from ThreadLocal.
> Thus, the WebappClassLoader cannot be garbage collected because one of the 
> object that it loaded (i.e. EventListenerList) is strongly referenced by live 
> threads in the container, which leads to huge memory leaks on hot-redeploys.
